<p>The Almighty Defenders strike me as a rockabilly gospel band.  They dress in gospel choir robes on stage and have an eclectic Elvis, meets bar band, meets Motown sound. I discovered them while listening to XMU.  Each time they played Cone of Light, I found myself looking down at the satellite receiver to catch the name of the artist and track.  I did this enough times that it finally stuck.  I came home, looked them up on iTunes and knew I would not be satisfied until I owned this entire album and could play it whenever and wherever I wanted.  </p>
