Think along the lines of Pendulum, strong vocals and strong music, although not so much a drum and bass mix but a more an electro feel. When I first listened to it I was reminded of The Music, but upon reflection I actually think March Of The Defiants are a little heavier on the rock side and certainly the vocals are different. If they're any good live then they really ought to get out there and show it. This track also has great potential for some really big club re-mixes, which would just take them to an even wider audience. The Sign is a fantastic introduction to the potential of March Of The Defiants and if you'll excuse the pun, possibly a sign of things to come."www.marchofthedefiants.com
