Boston post-hardcore band Defeater were supposed to head out on a tour with Modern Baseball, The Wonder Years, Citizen and Real Friends, though unfortunately, they’ve had to drop off due to a medical issue. The band posted to Facebook:

Hey all, we have some bad news with a silver lining.

Derek’s doctors and surgeons have strongly recommended that he get his hip taken care of as soon as possible before it breaks in its brittle state and causes further damage.

The bad news is that we are unfortunately going to have to drop from The Wonder Years tour. Bummed doesn’t even begin to describe how upset we are that we are missing such an awesome opportunity.

However the good news is that not only will Derek be able to take the time he needs to go to physical therapy and heal properly, but our spot will be filled by the excellent band Fireworks.

We are already planning a full North American run for this fall where we promise to make up for lost time.

Thanks guys, we love you.

That tour hits NYC on April 17 at Best Buy Theater and tickets for that show are still available.

Speaking of emo shows at Best Buy Theater, Taking Back Sunday just announced a tour which brings them to that venue on April 15, and since we last spoke, they added a second date happening there on April 16. Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday (1/31) at 10 AM.
