“The Defiants” are a band whose music recalls the glory days of the hair metal era of the eighties and early nineties. Formed in 2015 by former members of hair metal band “Danger Danger,” The Defiants’ 2016 self-titled debut album contained hard rock anthems full of guitar solos and singalongs and was considered a glorious return to the “in your face” melodic hard rock that enraptured millions of fans back in the ’80s and ’90s. A second album, Zokusho, was released to critical acclaim in 2019 and now, after another four year wait, they have returned with their third release, Drive, which could turn out to be their greatest musical achievement so far.
The Defiants’ single 19 Summertime is new this week on RadiJohan.
