Can't Resist the Alliance of Defiance
Melissa Renee
If you get the opportunity to see Alliance of Defiance, then I strongly recommend you gather your friends and check out this aggressive rock band. Hailing from the Seattle area, Alliance of Defiance is welcomed wherever they go. You don’t have to be a music enthusiast or even a rock-aholic to appreciate the talent that makes up Alliance of Defiance, however be prepared for some really loud & genuine music.
Frontman Jim combines hardcore vocals with angry melodic lyrics while Guitarist Paul’s ripping solo’s penetrate the lucky patrons in the crowd; Kenny James is responsible for the heart pounding & rhythmic bass line & the intensity of his style & timing is none other Alliance of Defiance drummer Mike Todd. With years of experience behind them, it’s no wonder Alliance of Defiance is able to take their different musical backgrounds and become such a powerful quartet. With influences ranging from AudioSlave to Damage Plan, this group has a lot of potential.
You can visit their website at www.allianceofdefiance.net and download some music from their demo album, look at a picture show or read about this “Real, no bull shit band.” You can also check them out at www.myspace.com/allianceofdefiancemusic.
