There’s no time to rest for Defects, as well as joining U.S. metalcore titans Of Mice & Men on their European and UK tour, comes the announcement that they’ll be playing at Download 2024, and ahead of that a brand new track, out digitally as a single, along with what’s been described as an “epic video” for ‘Broken Bloodlines’.
“’Broken Bloodlines’ focuses on leaving behind negative forces in your life. “It’s about when you’ve got friends or family in your life, and they’re just consistently taking the wrong path,” said singer Tony Maue. “You do everything to try to steer them back into the good side of life, but they just ignore it, and continue to drag everyone good along with them. It’s about learning to cut ties with those people before you get sucked in too deep, letting them go and cutting your losses.”
The tour with Of Mice & Men starts today, hitting the UK on 30th November, with tickets available here.
Talking about the tour, the band declared, “We are hugely thankful to the guys in Of Mice & Men for the continued support and the amazing opportunity to follow them around Europe for the first time and in the UK. Growing up listening to this band and now sharing a stage with them is truly an honour, and we can’t wait to show everyone what we can do.”
Tony Maue (Vocals), Luke Genders and James Threadwell (Guitars), David Silver (Bass) and Harry Jennings (Drums) burst out of the gates last year when they supported Swedish metallers In Flames. They have gone on to support Bullet for My Valentine, Funeral For A Friend and steamrolled through the 2022 festival circuit while dropping their debut EP Dream Awake.

“Our whole idea is: if we’re going to do this, then we’re going to do it properly,” said drummer Harry Jennings. “Just really go for it, leave no stone unturned, and just dive headfirst into it. We’re taking no prisoners.” 2024 they promise, is going to find them “absolutely everywhere”.
