  • Default is a Canadian post-grunge/alternative rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. Since forming in 1999 they have released three albums, and have sold more than a million records. The majority of their fan base is in Canada, but they gained popularity in the United States for their hit singles "Wasting My Time" and "Deny". The band was discovered by Chad Kroeger, the vocalist of Nickelback (also a Canadian post-grunge/alternative rock band), when their demo tape caught his attention. Kroeger subsequently lent support and production assistance to their first and second albums. Default's debut album The Fallout achieved instant success due to strong radio play of "Wasting My Time" and "Deny". In 2002 Default won the Juno Award for "Best New Group". On April 30, 2003 the record achieved a platinum album RIAA certification, signifying a million records sold. Follow-up album Elocation Failed to gain the same amount of popularity in the United States as their first album, however they did solidify their popularity in Canada. Elocation was most successful for their hit single " Life Away" which was played extensively on the radio and television in Canada. Their second single from "Elocation" was "Throw It All Away", which was then followed by "All She Wrote". Elocation was subsequently nominated "Best Rock Album of the Year" at the 2005 Juno Awards. The single "Count On Me" from their third album, One Thing Remains, was a hit on Canadian radio stations before the album was even released. After that, they released One Thing Remains and the album was very successful in the United States. Default's hit single "Deny" was featured in the video and computer game NHL 2003 by EA Sports. Their song "The Memory Will Never Die" was used as a secondary theme song for WWE's WrestleMania 23. They also contributed an original song called "Blind" to Music from and Inspired by Spider-Man. According to Default's blog on their official website, the band was originally hoping to have their fourth album finished and ready to be released by the summer/early fall of 2007, but the date was postponed to March 2008. TVT Records filed for bankruptcy in February, and was sold in a private auction to The Orchard, an online independent music distributor. The album is currently finished, and a tentative release date of March 2009 was announced in mid-2008, but the material was not released. The first single "Little Too Late" will be released to radio towards the end of May 2009 and the album will be released in July 2009. It is to be titled "Still Standing", and two tracks off of this new album are "Little Too Late" and "Goodbye". (en)

  • Default is een Canadese post-grunge/alternatieve rock band uit Vancouver (Brits-Columbia). Momenteel hebben ze drie albums en wordt hun hit single "Deny" gebruikt in het spel NHL 2003 van EA Sports. De meeste fans komen uit Canada, maar ze zijn ook populair geworden in de Verenigde Staten met hun singles "Wasting My Time" en "Deny". Beiden afkomstig van hun eerste album The Fallout. De hierop volgende albums Elocation en One Thing Remains haalden niet dezelfde populariteit in de VS als het eerste album, maar bleven wel populair in Canada. Het tweede album Elocation was het meest succesvol door de hitsingle " Life Away", die uitvoerig werd gedraaid op de Canadese radio en televisie. De tweede single van Elocation was "Throw It All Away", welke gevolgd werd door "All She Wrote". Van het derde en nieuwste album One Thing Remains kwam de hitsingle "Count On Me", welke al een grote hit was op de Canadese radio voordat het album zelfs al uit was. Het nummer "The Memory Will Never Die" van dit album werd gebruikt als tweede theme song voor WWE's WrestleMania 23.De eerste twee albums, The Fallout en Elocation, zijn geproduceerd door Chad Kroeger, de zanger van Nickelback, die Default ook ontdekt heeft . Op het laatste album is Kroeger alleen verantwoordelijk voor de hitsingle "Count On Me". De rest werd geproduceerd door Bob Marlette en ook Marty Frederiksen werd hierbij betrokken. Momenteel is Default bezig met een nieuw album, die ze hopen in de herfst van 2007 uit te brengen. Momenteel is er echter nog geen officiële release datum bekend. (nl)
