The Defiant Came To Mosh

St. Petersburg's metal purveyors The Defiant brought its hardcore sound to a packed house ready to mosh at Beer Goggles Oct. 7.

The Defiant promptly took the stage at midnight as the headlining act and began cranking out huge riffs that owed just as much to metal as it did New York hardcore and punk rock.

The audience reacted well to the setlist which included songs including "Demigod," "Hellride," and "The Contract."

The group even dedicated the track, "Porn Star" to all the women in the audience.

"This one is for the all the girls out there. The Defiant love the girls," said lead singer Craig Corr.

The Saturday night performance covered a wide range of styles ranging from punk to sludge-rock and attracted music fanatics of all types.

Formed in 2009, The Defiant recently released its 10 song, self-titled debut LP.
