We’ve stoked to announce that fucking amazing emotional hardcore punk band called Defeat the Giant from the wonderful island of Taiwan is heading out for the first time around some of Asia’s greatest hardcore scenes from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan.
Check out the dates in the flyer and get ready for a brand new track off their new album coming soon! This shit is going to RIP!
The vocalist, Winston, had this to say:
“I’m so fucking excited! I just want to see the scenes in other countries and try to learn something, then do something back in our own scene. I also really want to thank everyone who have helped us out in putting on a show for us. We are not a well known hardcore band at all but people were still willing to help put on shows for us. I think maybe this is hardcore – this is the Asian scene: helping each other and supporting each other!”
