There are two bands using the name Defiance... 1)Defiance is a band belonging to the second wave of thrash from the bay area. Formed in 1985 by Brad Bowers (guitar), Mike Kaufmann (bass) and Matt Vander Ende (drums). In 1986 Doug Harrington (guitar) was added to the line up, but due to personal differences between Doug and Brad, they replaced Doug with Jim Adams (guitar) in late summer of that year. After Jim had been in the band for about 5 months he too began to experience 'personal differences' with Brad.

Affect Change Lyrics

Defiance

if you don't vote you can't complain
fuck that line of shit because it won't change
any thing other than superficially
i'm not willing to accept what rights and change some

they are not theirs to fucking give
and anything given can be taken away

this whole system needs to be burned to the ground
and it's not going to happen from working within
voting is just a feeling of affecting change
it provides answers but to all of the wrong questions

it gives us a fals sence of accomplishment
and diverts energy from real issues

state sanctioned change is nothing more than double speak
when it promises to give , to who have been taken from the most
your fooling yourself if you believe
you will recieve anything substantial in return

thinking that voting gives you a voice
is a sad excuse for real action
