| Defiance > Albums & Lyrics |
Brian Wenzel and Mike Bennett not only joined the band Defiance in 1993, they also *left* the band within months of joining. Jim Adams returned to replace the ousted Wenzel and Mike Bennett left on his own a few months later. Bennett was replaced by Tyson Leeper. Defiance contined to write new material and did several local shows with this line up before Steev Esquivel left the band in late 1993. During the search for a replacement, Tyson also left Defiance. Steev was replaced by Dave Godfrey White (Heathen) and the next drummer to join the ranks of Defiance was Paul Bloemink. After doing a few shows and recording a demo with Rob Beaton (Defiance, Heathen) producing, the decision was made to replace Paul with Hugo Barrientos on drums.
It was at this time, the band decided that the new material sounded nothing like the Defiance known to people, and made the move to change their name to Inner Threshold. Inner Threshold continued to record and play shows until 1995, when Adams and White exited and were replaced by Chris Long on vocals and guitar. The band then changed their name again to Under.
Under played shows and recorded numerous demos until finally calling it quits in 1999.
Defiance regrouped in 2005 with four of the original members and with the addtion of new drummer, James 'Flatline' Raymond to the group in the summer of 2005 began to work towards completing a new four song EP.
The current line up of Defiance is:
Doug Harrington - Guitars
Jim Adams - Guitars
Steev Esquivel - Vocals
Mike Kaufmann - Bass
James 'Flatline' Raymond - Drums
