SELF DEFENSE FAMILY RETURNS

NEW SINGLE "RECLUSION" STREAMING NOW

Self Defense Family have returned with their first new music in six years. The ever-evolving group fronted by vocalist Patrick Kindlon (Drug Church) have released their new single "Reclusion" out today.

Self Defense Family have charted a path unlike any other band. Led by Kindlon with a revolving lineup of talented players, the band feels like a cross between a creative collective and one man's deeply personal lifelong project. Aside from their 2023 live album, Self Defense Family have been laying low since the release of a two-song single in 2020. "Reclusion" breaks the drought with two minutes and thirty seconds of churning chords, thunderous drums, and Kindlon's impassioned howl, all slowly unfolding into the kind of crashing catharsis that Self Defense Family excel at.

Not only are Self Defense Family releasing their first new music in quite some time, they're also performing live again. The band have handful of rare upcoming live appearances in July and August, playing shows with Fiddlehead and Ink & Dagger. See full itinerary below.
