This Alternative-Rock band started life in Vancouver, British Columbia
CANADA, in 1999 as The Fallout when guitarist Jeremy Hora and drummer
Danny Craig decided to play music full time; the two enlisted the help
of long-time friend and vocalist Dallas Smith; that fall the band went
in the studio with Nickelback's Chad
Kroeger at the helm, to cut a demo-disc and played around their hometown.
During 2000 the group change their name to Default, signed a deal with
TVT Records and bass player Dave Benedict joined as permanent bass player.
The quartet released their official debut album, "The Fallout",
in autumn 2001, the record soared to #1 in U.S. Top Independent Albums
chart, cracked The Billboard Top 200 chart peaking at #51, the band's
intensive touring schedule, 400 gigs plus, helped propel the album to
platinum status in both Canada and the United States, with total international
sales in the 1,2 million range; the first single,"Wasting My Time",
climbed into the top 3 of both the Billboard's Mainstream and Modern Rock
charts, it also crashed into The Billboard Hot 100 reaching the #13 spot;
the follow-up single, "Deny", hit #7 on Active Rock chart and
reached the #14 on The Modern Rock chart; the final single, "Live
A Lie", received significant airplay on album-Rock radio stations.
The Canadian quartet's second LP, "Elocation", was released
in November 2003 but missed the top 100 of The Billboard 200 chart and
failed to match its predecessor's sales; it included three Adult Top 40
or Active Rock top 40 hits: "Taking My Life Away", "Throw
It All Away" and "All She Wrote".
Two years later, in October 2005 Default returned with its third release,
"One Thing Remains", which includes the single "Count On
Me".
