“…together through ages of the world we have fought the long defeat.”

The Long Defeat is the 2026 release from London’s DIY indie rock band Feeble Strength. 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 being destroyed.

It also rocks.

The Weakerthans, Superchunk, Guided By Voices and The Lemonheads,.
