Review of Default – Rockfest 2010
On Friday July 16, 2010, Default played the 2:45 PM slot. I hope this was just a scheduling conflict because this band in my opinion should have played much later in the evening.
My wife and I, having seen this band before remembered how good of a show they put on a few years back opening for Nickelback and knew they wouldn’t disappoint. We were right, they didn’t.
With a new album out “Comes and Goes” the boys from Canada rocked Cadott with some new tunes and some old favorites. A couple of new songs which have made the charts in Canada were played such as “All Over Me” and “Turn It On” which had favorable crowd response and then their two biggest hits were played “Deny” and “Wasting My Time” towards the end of the set.
Not only is this an all around solid group of musicians, originally discovered by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, but Dallas Smith, lead vocalist, has got to have one of the best voices in rock. He sounded perfect on this afternoon.
I thought the show was great for a band playing an early timeslot. As I stated the last song was “Wasting My Time” and I’m sure many will agree our time wasn’t wasted watching Default!
