The Defiant^[1] is an American punk rock supergroup consisting of vocalist Dicky Barrett (the Mighty Mighty BossToneS), drummer Pete Parada (the Offspring), guitarist Greg Camp (Smash Mouth), bassist Johnny Rioux (Street Dogs), and guitarist Joey La Rocca (the Briggs).

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 due to his refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19; and Barrett's breakup with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in part due to his views on the COVID-19 vaccine. ^[2][3]

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^[4] in early 2024. The band performed their single "Dead Language"^[5] on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 3, 2024.
