Feeble Strength also release debut album ‘The Long Defeat’ In March 2026 as a follow up to 2024’s Various Martyrs EP.
The Long Defeat is the 2026 release from London’s DIY indie rock band Feeble Strength, following on from 2025’s first EP Various Martyrs. Taking its title from a Tolkien quote, it is a record about losing battles against romantic, political, economic and physical defeat.
It is about finding the eucastrophe in life in moments that look like destruction.
It also rocks.
