/24-7PressRelease/ - LOS ANGELES, CA, June 20, 2008 - The world of pop and hard rock collide on American stages this summer with the driving sound of DEFY TOMORROW. The band will be playing selected dates on the VANS WARPED TOUR in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. The tour kicks off on Sunday, June 22 in Ventura, CA.
Formed in July 2007, DEFY TOMORROW is the unlikely teaming of former MTV My Super Sweet 16 girl Marissa with lead singer for hard rock band ColdFusion Mike Oliver. Both founding members have received national attention for their musical talents: the music video for Marissa's "Just So Able" was voted the No. 1 Pop Video on VH1's Music Nation while making the rounds on MTV and MTV Overdrive, and Oliver's ColdFusion were featured on the premiere episode of Dane Cook's HBO special Tourgasm.
DEFY TOMORROW will be featured in broadcasts of new MTV show Exiled, premiering this August, which follows Marissa and seven other former "Super Sweet 16" girls out to remote locations around the globe as they acclimate to life with indigenous tribes. The show will include footage of Marissa's everyday life in Phoenix, Arizona, including performances by the band. Previews for the show can be found on MTV's website.

On tour, the band will be performing material from their debut EP One Through the Heart, now available through their website and iTunes. The sound matches Oliver's hard-rock backing, featuring screaming guitars and explosive drumming, with Marissa's impassioned pop-vocal delivery of her bitter, heartbroken lyrics. The EP's lead track, "Words Don't Mean a Thing," showcases a bitterly sarcastic take on a shattered love affair, against a chaotic, overdriven backdrop - as Marissa sings, "Words don't mean a thing/Fairy tale endings don't come true/I know that now and it's ok because I'm over you."
DEFY TOMORROW is ready to blow you away with their own brand of hard rock today! Don't miss them on the Warped Tour this summer.
