The Defiant (band)

The Defiant is an American punk rock supergroup consisting of vocalist Dicky Barrett (the Mighty Mighty BossToneS), Pete Parada (the Offspring), Greg Camp (Smash Mouth), Johnny Rioux (Street Dogs), and Joey La Rocca (the Briggs).

Band formation

The band began as the result of writing sessions between Barrett, Camp and Parada during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, following Parada's controversial departure from the Offspring in 2021.

Debut album

The band released their debut album, If We're Really Being Honest, on October 27, 2023, through Cranberry Bog Records, followed by a string of promotional appearances on Timcast IRL and other television and internet programs.

Following the release, the band announced a major US tour supporting Me First and the Gimme Gimmes in early 2024. The band performed their single "Dead Language" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 3, 2024.
