Now the running joke when I worked at an alternative rock station back when Canadian rock radio was all about Nickelback, Default, and Theory Of A Deadman was that those three bands sounded so alike that we coined them "Theory Of A Nickefault'…clearly the record companies loved that…l-o-v-e-d.
To Dallas Smith, country music has always been about the special combination of a voice and a song. After spending nearly 10 years fronting the Canadian rock band, Default, Smith is stepping out on his own, into the world of all things Country.
While in Nashville, Dallas worked with acclaimed songwriter/producer Zac Maloy (Carrie Underwood, James Blunt), Grammy nominated songwriter Rodney Clawson, and Chris Tompkins (Carrie Underwood).
League Of Rock is a Canadian phenomenon originally developed by Canadian entrepreneurs Terry Moshenberg and Topher Stott. Every day people in Ottawa have the opportunity to join hockey leagues, bowling leagues, and football leagues.... well now for the musically inclined, there is a music league.
"When rock and roll was invented, they didn't intend for you to learn it while sitting in a small square room taking lessons from a teacher. You gotta get with friends who share licks, teach each other, and rock out loud."~League Of Rock
'I don't know who these Sounds Under Radio folk are trying to fool, but that is a big-time rock 'n' roll band masquerading as some unsigned indie-emo whatsits' ~Entertainment Weekly
I first heard this band months back after a random late night viewing of the CW show, The Vampire Diaries...needless to say this Austin-based Britrock-esque trio had me hooked from the first listen.
