PRESENTED BY: CROW
Brought to you in Association with THE HARD ROCK CAFE in NASHVILLE TENNESSEE, THE RECORD SHOP NASHVILLE, and REBEL REV. PRODUCTIONS

With a signature sound of dreamy, lush instrumentation combined with pensive lyrics, a unique blend of art-rock has emerged. Hailing from East Nashville, Tennessee, Auto Defiance is led by enigmatic songwriter Bradley Boyer. Joining to build this ornately complex wall of sound is a small collective of passionate musicians who share a love for playing heavy-yet-atmospheric songs, which take you on an adventure from high-energy anthems to melodramatic ballads.

Based in the heart of 5-points in East Nashville, the band consists of Victoria Torres (voice, synth), actor Matt Bolton(Bass), Jonathan Bradford (Drums) and James Fleege (Guitar), who perform along side experimental vintage film footage flickering larger than life on stage.

Creating enchanting music without boundaries, The Auto Defiance playfully blurs the lines between alternative, indie pop and post punk. Their live performance is all about telling stories through song, while exploring new sonic and visual territories together . Inspired by larger than life characters such as pop artist Andy Warhol, to actor-rebel James Dean, to vocalists such as Jeff Buckley and Morrissey; this is a band who fully understands the power of iconography in music.

June 2009, their self-released EP "Damiana's Dream" carries you into a five song mini-melodrama.

Showcasing their ambient, vintage film style, the band has independently released two music videos so far in 2011, and is to release a new single, followed up by a full length record.
