From the Ashes of the river city St. Louis comes Defiance Pointe. The quintet’s array of hard-hitting edgy riffs, dark melodic lyrics and intense live show, creates a rock sound that is ever evolving and unique to the genre.
Defiance Pointe started in the little town of New Melle (sister town to Defiance) in the winter of 2003 by two of the founding and current members Derek and Jake. Originally the band was named after the city of Defiance. The name Defiance was taken, so we were forced to change our name. Pointe was added to keep the band name a place not just a label. “Our name has a strong meaning to usâ€, says guitarist Jake. “We want to stay close to our roots no matter where the road may lead us, we will always be like the people of Defiance going against the grain; we will always be Defiance Pointe.â€
Over the past four years Dp has done exactly that but one common objective sticks, to continue creating a sound that is diverse and intense. With the additions of James, Sean, and Alex, Defiance Pointe has a foundation that a band on the rise needs to compete in the rock world today. Defiance Pointe is a collection of musicians from all spectrums of rock with the intent on reaching as many fans as possible. The fusion of these influences is what gives Defiance Pointe the unique ability to deviate a sound that is refreshing to the rock world.
