Biography:

With a trademark sound of ambient-yet-edgy indie rock, the quartet of talent together create the wall of sound that is The Auto Defiance. Acoustic guitar, synth, and melodic vocals create strong pop feelings yet enough warm heavy guitar to stir the mind and the senses. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Auto Defiance is led by visionary songwriter Bradley Boyer. The energy in their songs take you from angsty guitar anthems to dreamy ballads.

Creating music without boundaries, Auto Defiance playfully blurs the lines between Alternative, Indie Rock, and Post Punk. Holding regular studio sessions since becoming a band, the quartet is now taking the show live, exploring new sonic territory together. Small events that would mean little to the untrained ear, through Boyer’s work are magnified to form a parallel to something greater in life. Inspired by larger than life characters such as James Dean, pop artist Andy Warhol to musical deity’s such as Jeff Buckley, and The Smiths; Auto Defiance fully understands the power of iconography in music.

As a singer/songwriter, Boyer’s unique palette morphs to accommodate the atmosphere of the song and numerous music business insiders have sung his praises. Bradley was approached at one point by an industry songwriting team, who sought to co-write four songs with him for an upcoming Goo Goo Dolls project. Boyer turned it down. However, it did introduce him to greater licensing opportunities and a number of well respected contacts, which led to on-air interviews, radio airplay and unanimous positive music reviews for the independent artist and his already budding career.

June 2009, their self-released EP “Damina’s Dream” carries you into a five song mini-melodrama, Soaked with cello, strings and random ambience, each song tells a profound story. Adding electronica elements with synthesizers, and orchestra strings, Auto Defiance chameleon-like creation of grandiose rock music is both endearing and inspiring.
