ORIGINAL INDIE POP meets POST PUNK

Live Show Debut
May 28th, 2008

The Rutledge, Nashville, TN

SESAC SHOWCASE

"Nashville Indie Rocks"

..

..I come from the underground "UNDERGROUND MASS MEDIA MUSIC" Biography:

Auto Defiance from Nashville, Tennessee is the vision of Bradley Boyer. Writing music without boundaries, Auto Defiance playfully straddles the lines between Alternative Rock, Acoustic Pop and Post Punk. Small events that would mean little to the untrained eye, through Boyer's work are magnified to form a parallel to something greater in life. Inspired by larger than life characters from pop artist Andy Warhol to musical deity's such as Jeff Buckley, Robert Smith, Bono and Morrissey, Auto Defiance fully understands the power of iconography in music.

As a singer/songwriter, Bradley Boyer's unique palette morphs to accommodate the atmosphere of the song and numerous music business insiders have sung his praises. In 2000, Bradley was approached by industry songwriter Robert Malec who wanted him to co-write four songs for an upcoming Goo Goo Dolls project. Boyer turned it down. However, it did introduce him to a slew of licensing opportunities and a number of well respected contacts, which led to on-air interviews, radio airplay and unanimous positive reviews for the independent artist and his already budding career.

Currently hard at work on a debut full length album, Auto Defiance is branching out to collaborative efforts in the pursuit of an epic new sound/approach. Adding electronica elements with synthesizers, and orchestra strings courtesy of Jesi Kettering (Waiting for Iris), and Gerald Gardiner, and female vocals courtesy of Petra Kelly, Auto Defiance chameleon-like pursuit of grandiose rock music is both endearing and inspiring. Working with three separate producers on the project, Boyer captures the specific feel of each individual song. More great things to come from Auto Defiance, a band to clearly watch for in 2008.

Debut album in progress.

NEW SINGLE : GHOST IN YOUR HOUSE (2008)

Streaming music thru online "virtural Radio stations" that music fans build themselves. The Auto Defiance is an acoustic alternative, post-punk influenced indie pop band formed in 2008. A trademark sound of lush instrumentation, layered guitars and soaring melodies. Well crafted powerful songs take you from high-energy anthems to dreamy ballads. ..

Auto Defiance Genre: Alternative Rock, Indie, Post-Punk

Band History:

From two soldiers in the 101st airborne, the core of a band of guys in the U.S. Army. Led by singer-songwriter part-time airborne trooper SPC Bradley Boyer, they played all throughout the area, with several successful years of playings gigs, parties, frat parties, live outdoor festivals, winning Boss Battle of the Bands, pizza deli to coffee houses to full on metal club "venues" that were once strip clubs. (with a pole still on stage)

Moving to Louisville, Boyer dove in to a heavy writing session, working out new sounds, songwriting, recording on cheap 2 track tape, and playing live, as an acoustic solo artist all over the city, meeting other like minded songwriters, such as John Woosley, a very talented singer/songwriter in own right with whom he co-wrote songs.

Asked to finally move back to Nashville by the drummer, who had taught himself to record and engineer (and had built up a home studio worth $60,000), Boyer eventually did, and began to further perfect his songwriting craft and style through live performance, which they captured to tape as often as possible.

The Auto Defiance is an Alternative Post-Punk band formed in late 2007, hit the studio first with 4 new songs, with snappy jazz rock pro drummer, Brian Dowd, and the then worked into rehearsals, and playing open mics while meeting other local artists engulfed into creating, writing, and performing original songs, other talented musicians began taking notice, they were to fill out the rest of the band by 2008.

Why this name?

>1775 - dark Times in Europe.. . . It spawned from an early name. The phrase auto de fe refers to the ritual of public penance of condemned heretics and apostates that took place when the Spanish Inquisition or the Portuguese Inquisition had decided their punishment (that is, after the trial). Auto de fe in medieval Spanish means "act of faith". We changed it to "Defiance" partly to echo our freedom and independence away from corporate greed and the old ways of suffocating labels, media giants, in the music industry.

Do you play live?

Yes, isn't that the point? shows are fun, especially with other bands that are performing interesting, original music. we're now playing larger venues with our new line-up, and everyone's uber-stoked about it. With our engineers on the album coming out to run F.O.H sound live... plus plans for webcasting, with full visual show, and antique 16mm film footage flickering behind our live show.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It's good to be hearing and discovering new artists, and that's great. So Auto Defiance is keeping up with the latest digital trends, and where music is headed. We've made our music very easy to find, being found on hundreds of websites and portals across the internet. The downfall, sadly, the art is lost (as in owning a tangeble album), music quality has suffered tremendously, and Piracy is still a major problem. I mean, really, which sounds better? a streaming mp3 or a CD? On the upside you've got You Tube, and dozens of other outlets to get exposure to the fans, so you can be big in Japan.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

>Maybe.

We have been working hard as a band, with our own team of pros to keep marching forward in persuit of writing, recording & performing great, orginal music.



Musical influences include:

Shiny toy guns, the Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Lush, (early) U2, AIR, Sonic Youth, Travis, Curve, the Cure, (early)Smashing Pumpkins, Afgahn whigs, Garbage, Slowdive, Mansun, Sigur Ros, (early)Radiohead, Silversun Pickups, Death Cab for Cutie, Hooverphonic, The Bravery, Mazzy Star, Yeah yeah yeahs, Ours, The Smiths, The Dredge, Concrete Blonde, Massive Attack, the Verve, Tricky, Portishead, New Order/Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Björk, Morcheeba, Jeff Buckley, Snow Patrol. and other UK, Shoegaze, dream pop, indie rock stuff.

if you are not familiar with at least 80% of these bands, please move on.

Don't mean to sound harsh, but we are interested in a specific sound, and have worked very hard to get this far, and have had a very difficult time finding players that understand this is not hard rock, but smooth, sophisticated rock which sounds cool and stirs the mind and the senses. It has a strong impact and intensity although not loud and obnoxious.

We are musicians who can appreciate dynamics, subtlety and real musical story telling and a strong emphasis on songwriting and lyrical content, actually hearing the words being sung, and hearing the notes and chords being played.
