Defects have released their brand-new single ‘All For Nothing’.
Vocalist Tony Maue shares a deeply personal perspective, “When I was younger, overthinking led me into drugs, and I nearly died. The worst part was feeling alone. I’ve changed since then, and now I feel better than ever. When I did drugs, I gave up. If I stop moving forward, I fall back – why give up the very thing I fell in love with in the beginning?
“‘All for Nothing’ came from a time in my life when it felt like nothing was really moving. No matter how much I was putting in, it seemed like I was stuck in the same place. I wrote it from that frustration – that exhaustion of wondering if everything I was doing was even leading anywhere. More than anything, though, the song became my way of letting all of that out. It’s me being honest about those hard moments, facing that feeling that it was all for nothing, and working through it until I found my way past it.”
