Defy Tolerance

It's not often you find a band that ties aggression and melody in the same fashion as Defy Tolerance do. Raised on a healthy diet of Alter Bridge, Godsmack, Dream Theater and Sevendust the Phoenix based quartet has that "it factor" that you don't seem to find much these days. From their dynamic and lethal live show through to the band's hard hitting debut album, Stop The Bleeding, Defy Tolerance is well on their way to making a name for themselves. Formed in 2011 when former frontman Freddy Kilo met bassist Donny Rosko in, of all places, a bathroom after a gig Donny played. The two of them got together, shared some musical ideas and wrote a few songs. When they saw that they meshed well they took an ad out to find a drummer. After meeting drummer after drummer and getting nowhere, Garin Wolfe walked in the door and it was just meant to be. "Some of the guys we auditioned didn't even bother to learn the songs!" reflects Rosko. "Garin showed up prepared and just nailed it." The trio started playing shows in February of 2012 and during this time they recorded Stop The Bleeding. "In the studio we were writing and recording a lot of secondary guitar parts," says Donny. "We all agreed to add a 2nd guitarist and the search was on. After a few not-so-great auditions, Garin suggested Brian Miller, who worked with him at the time. The dude shreds. We thought he would be a good fit and bring something new to our stage show. We had a month of practice and he debuted when we opened for Smile Empty Soul." Produced by House of Lords and Fifth Angel drummer, Ken Mary, the ten song affair was recorded at SonicPhish Studios in Phoenix, AZ and mastered by Tony Glassner at Spectre Mastering. There's much more to Defy Tolerance than meets the eye. They're just beginning to scratch the surface - wait until they find the depth that lies underneath. www.defytolerance.com Tour: http://bit.ly/defyTOUR EPK: http://bit.ly/defyEPK ReverbNation: http://bit.ly/defyREVERB
