Since forming in early 2014, Defences have been travelling up and down the UK performing their varied and experimental take on modern alternative music to a rapidly growing fanbase.
After sharing the stage with other growing acts such as Our Last Night, Mallory Knox, The Raven Age, Our Hollow Our Home, As Lions, Sleepwave and For the Fallen Dreams – Defences now provide a raw and exciting act to present as a headline show. The lyrical themes of overcoming adversity, self-realisation and the recognition of beauty that have attracted so many listeners remain a pulsing rhetoric that permeates the band’s music and stage show equally, and with the increasing live support received at each show, the band will surely add to their list of prestigious acts with whom they’ve shared the stage.

With the singles off 2017’s “With Might and Main”, receiving a wide range of mainstream press support such as BBC Radio 1, Alt Press, Rock Sound and Kerrang! Radio as well as having become a widely used music source for 3rd party content creators, Defences’ audience and streaming stats have grown exponentially, with their current monthly listener Spotify stats consistently above 30,000 and their total streams standing at over 2,850,000 listens. Their increasing status as a UK band has seen a dedicated fanbase already baying for album favourites “Grow” and “Gravity” at shows which allowed them to use their platform as a springboard to start releasing new singles with a new sound. “Shatter”, “In Eclipse” provide a sense of immersive development for older listeners and an exciting fresh sound for newcomers. With no signs of burnout, Defences are a band that looks to have a very bright future indeed.
