I saw the Canadian band Default perform live in concert at St. Cloud State's Halenbeck Hall back in 2004 with Atomship when both groups opened for Evanescence. Neither opening act was on the concert's original bill. The show had been postponed a couple of months after founding guitarist Ben Moody abruptly departed. I had already known about Default after their debut album The Fallout was released, but I haven't seen them since.
Default formed in Vancouver, Canada in 1999 by drummer Danny Craig, vocalist Dallas Smith, bass guitarist Dave Benedict and lead guitarist Jeremy Hora. Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger co-produced the band's first two albums after they were signed to TVT Records. The Fallout sold more than one million copies in both Canada and the United States.
The group toured regularly before taking a break in 2013. They got back together in 2018, but haven't released any new music since their fourth studio album Comes and Goes was released in September 2009. Default has not been active since 2020.
I don't know if Default will reform, but they were definitely an act to remember. I still have copies of The Fallout, their third release One Thing Remains and a Best Buy exclusive CD with an acoustic version of their single "Count on Me." Time will only tell if they return to concert stages again.
That's all for Default. Next up is Seasons After, a personal favorite of mine. Until then, have a great weekend, everyone!
