Comes and Goes

I first came across Default five years ago, in a Casino in Vegas. They blew me away, and I bought their first three albums. I've been waiting since 2005 for the fourth and now it's here, unchallenged as the best of 09. Research Default and the most common remark you'll find is 'Fans of Nickelback might enjoy . . .' Hah! Understatement of the decade. Nickelback is a worthy crew, but Default is much, much better, the best rock band on this planet, and several others as yet undiscovered. If there is anyone at EMI Canada with even half a brain, she/he will arrange a global release for Comes and Goes, give it a real push, and reap the rewards. In a land of many great musicians, these guys could be your biggest export yet.

I LOVE DEFAULT and have been following their music since their very first album. I can't stand how this band is virtually unknown in the rock world, but those make the best bands (the same goes for Hoobastank). Default brings the rock every time, no doubt about it.
