Defy is a promising, young, industrial alt. rock outfit out of the Oxford, MS / Memphis, TN area. A merge of honest lyrics, melodic sensibility, and fusion of aggressive crunch and lush soundscape- the result is something completely unique and never heard before.
Why this name?
It was short. Looked good in print. Reflected the overall underlying message of questioning everything and not accepting everything as fact.
Do you play live?
The band is currently in the recording studio finishing up their second-full length album and following the release up with a projected regional tour in spring 2004.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Mp3 tecehnology has revolutionized music entirely. The artist now has the potential to release music as he or she pleases without any kind of filtration whatsoever. The listener has full access to a complete library of music with the benefit of an internet connection. Everyone wins.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely. The majors can provide the financial backing for being heard in the largest possible scale.
Band History:
All songs are written, arranged, recorded, performed, produced, engineered, and mixed by 18-year-old Avi Ghosh. Formed in mid 2000, the independent project/band is based out of Oxford, MS. The band released their debut album, "All Because Of You," on January 18th, 2003, toured in support of the release and recently re-entered the studio to record the follow-up "The Twelve Degrees Of Loneliness."
