Defeater are set to release their new album, Abandoned on August 28th through newly signed label, Epitaph.
Defeater is a melodic hardcore band from Massachusetts, USA. The band lineup consists of Derek Archambault (vocals), Jay Maas (guitar), Jake Woodruff (guitar), Joe Longobardi (drums) and Mike Poulin (bass).
Lyrically, Defeater is a concept band. All of their music serves as narration over one overarching story, telling of the struggles of a working class New Jersey family in the Post-World War II Era. Vocalist Derek Archambault stated in a 2009 interview that all of Defeater's work would take place within this story. [13]

Is this a good place to start listening to defeater?
You’ve come to the right place my son
Musically, I’m sure any place is great to start with this band. However, this band’s discography is entirely story-based which follows the same family from a different person’s perspective with each album (with the possible exception of this album, probably being told from their pastor’s perspective). So if you want to follow the story, I’d suggest starting from the beginning with the album Travels.
