Melodic hardcore is a tired genre that has been waiting for a band to wake it up. DEFIANT HEARTS is that band. "Arlington"
redefines melodic hardcore with its mix of metal influenced lead guitars and late 80s Dischord bands like EMBRACE, RITES OF
SPRING and ONE LAST WISH. DEFIANT HEARTS gained a strong following in the New England area from their self released demo and now the release of "Arlington." DEFIANT
HEARTS are looking for something much larger than that. This is the band that can unite hardcore kids, metal heads, punk rockers, and indie kids; "Arlington" has something for everyone.
