Modern Error is breathtakingly raw with emotion. Conceptually, it is a deeply cathartic album that acts as a vessel for singer Tony Maue to organise his thoughts on the trauma of being taken into care at a young age.

Threaded through the album are the experiences that Maue has been through, how the five members of the band are all connected and why, at this moment, right now, is the right time for this band to exist. For themselves as much as anyone else.

We spoke to vocalist Tony Maue about the album, the past few years and the rise of Defects as a force, about some of the experiences the album details, about the Orbit Culture tour, and so much more.

Watch/listen to the interview via Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
