DEFAULT To Embark On Winter Tour With HINDER

Canadian post-grunge/alternative rock band DEFAULT will release its new album, "Comes and Goes", on October 25 through AudioNest/Fontana. Recorded in Los Angeles with longtime producer Bob Marlette (OZZY OSBOURNE, SHINEDOWN),the CD is a step above all of the band's previous offerings. "Right off the bat we knew this was a special album and that it came together exactly the way we wanted it to," says frontman Dallas Smith. "We really believe in this record, and can't wait for our fans to hear it." The first single from the effort, "Turn It On", is at rock radio now.

DEFAULT will hit the road with HINDER for a winter tour kicking off November 17 at House Of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio. The trek will hit select cities across the U.S. through December 18.

The members of DEFAULT are eager to take the new songs directly to the fans that have flocked to their shows and bombarded their Facebook with comments, most of them expressing anticipation for new DEFAULT music. "God bless them all," says bassist Dave Benedict. "We give them what they want, and therefore they reward us by showing up. Without them, we'd be nothing."

DEFAULT consists of Dallas Smith (vocals),Jeremy Hora (guitar),Dave Benedict (bass),and Danny Craig (drums). The band was discovered by NICKELBACK's Chad Kroeger shortly after forming in Vancouver back in 1999. Kroeger's interest in their demo led him to lend his support to the production of their debut album. "The Fallout" (2001) boasted strong singles like "Deny", "Count On Me" and "Wasting My Time", the latter of which was a hit at both Canadian and American radio, earning the band an award for over 600,000 BDS Certified spins. A Juno for "Best New Group" followed in 2002, and "The Fallout" was certified platinum (one million copies sold) in the States in 2003.
