Conceptually-driven melodic hardcore band Defeater are returning to Australian shores after a year off touring, with one key absence from the line-up; frontman Derek Archambault’s cane, now he’s recovered from a hip replacement. Accompanying Defeater will be their fellow Bostonians Bane, on their final ever tour. You can catch them at with an all-ages set at HQ Leederville on Saturday, May 28, before hitting the Rosemount Hotel on Sunday, May 29. Tickets from oztix.com.au.
