Biography
How would you explain that a completely indpendent band - with no help from major labels, influent promoters or renown booking companies - has a résumé consisting of a Brazilian tour, an European tour, over 100 shows played in Portugal; as well as records released in Japan, Europe and USA, a video on MTV, video reports on national TV, some highlight on punkradiocast online radio station and shows with bands like No Use For a Name, Ignite and Streetlight Manifesto?
The sum of an addictive sound with catchy choruses, melodic guitars, lyrics concerning everyday life, a live show with plenty of energy and a good work capability may be a possible answer. The rising of very well-known bands like The Offspring, Green Day or Rise Against, are the living proof that melodic punk-rock has a great potential and can actually please the taste of every single person.
The band began as Defying Control in 2005, resulting from a previous project that featured some members of this band. Nowadays, after a couple of lineup changes, DC consists of Killer on bass and vocals; Francis on guitar and backup vocals; Andre on guitar, backup vocals and production; and Luis on drums. The band is currently writing their next album but intents to keep playing shows all over the world.
Hence, Defying Control follows a precise path - even though bumpy sometimes - looking forward to write the next chapter of the band's story while working untiringly to make their sound reach every human being.
PORTUGUÊS
Como explicar que uma banda totalmente independente - sem ajuda de editoras multinacionais, promotoras influentes, ou agências de renome - tenha no seu currículo uma Tournée no Brasil, uma Tournée Europeia, mais de 100 concertos dados em Portugal, edição dos álbuns no Japão, Europa e Estados Unidos, vídeo a passar na MTV, reportagens na SIC Radical e RTP2, destaque na maior rádio punk rock do mundo na Internet (punkradiocast), concertos com bandas portuguesas como Tara Perdida, Primitive Reason, e Linda Martini ou bandas internacionais como Ignite, No Use for a Name, e Streetlight Manifesto?
O som contagiante com “refrões” orelhudos, guitarras melódicas e letras atentas à realidade em que vivemos, um espectáculo ao vivo cheio de energia e uma enorme capacidade de trabalho; explicam o percurso dos Defying Control. A ascensão de bandas mundialmente conhecidas como os Offspring, Green Day ou Rise Against e em Portugal dos Fonzie ou Tara Perdida, são a prova que o punk rock carregado de melodia tem um grande potencial e capacidade de agradar a todo o tipo de público.
A banda que existe desde 2005 com o nome de Defying Control, que resulta de um projecto de 2003, do qual alguns elementos faziam parte, é composta por Killer na voz e no baixo, Francis na guitarra, André na guitarra e na produção dos álbuns, e Luís na bateria. Neste momento, o quarteto encontra-se a trabalhar no próximo álbum, mas tenciona continuar a fazer espectáculos por Portugal e pelo resto do globo.
Assim, Defying Control segue o seu caminho, por vezes sinuoso mas sempre bem definido, procurando escrever um novo capítulo na história da banda com o álbum que está para vir, enquanto continua com o trabalho incansável de fazer chegar a sua música a todos.
