Single Release

Defects go in 'All for Nothing'!!!

Defects have revealed their brand-new single ‘All For Nothing,’ out now on Mascot Records. The band offers a deeply personal perspective, peeling back emotional layers to reveal struggles with meaning and purpose. Recognising when you’re spiralling takes years to master.

“When I was younger, overthinking led me into drugs, and I nearly died. The worst part was feeling alone. I’ve changed since then, and now I feel better than ever. When I did drugs, I gave up. If I stop moving forward, I fall back— why give up the very thing I fell in love with in the beginning?” -
Tony Maue (Defects)
