Default is a Canadian post-grunge/alternative rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. They currently have three albums, and have had their hit single "Deny" featured in the video and computer game NHL 2003 by EA Sports. The majority of their fan base is in Canada, but they gained popularity in the United States for their hit singles "Wasting My Time" and "Deny" from their first album The Fallout. Their first and second albums were produced with the help of Chad Kroeger, the vocalist from Nickelback, who originally discovered them. Their follow-up albums Elocation and One Thing Remains failed to gain the same amount of popularity in the United States as their first album, however they are still popular in Canada. Elocation was most successful for their hit single "(Taking My) Life Away" which was played extensively on the radio and television in Canada. Their second single from "Elocation" was "Throw It All Away", which was then followed by "All She Wrote". The single "Count On Me" from their third album, One Thing Remains was a hit on Canadian radio before the album was even released. According to Default's blog on their official website, the band is hoping to have their fourth album finished and ready to be released by the summer/early fall of 2007, but there is not yet an official release date. Their song "The Memory Will Never Die" was used as as a secondary theme song for WWE's WrestleMania 23. March 25 2008 has been set as the release date for their yet-untitled new album.
