We Are Defiance is an American metalcore band from Ocala, Florida. Founded in 2009 by former Sleeping with Sirens and Paddock Park singer Brian Calzini, the band released their only album, Trust in Few, in early 2011 on Tragic Hero.
We Are Defiance was formed in 2009 by former Paddock Park vocalist Brian Calzini. On May 13, 2009, the band posted the track "It's a Long Drive Home from Texas" on their MySpace profile. It was announced to be part of the Let's Forget Regret (2009) EP, which was released on August 1. The EP was produced Tom Denney, formerly of band A Day to Remember. Following a slight line up change, the band released their first single, "To the Moon" on September 5, 2009 on iTunes.
We Are Defiance quickly gained a loyal fan base and announced to have inked a deal with Tragic Hero Records on May 1, 2010. The band started writing on new material for their debut album. The band released a cover of B.o.B's "Airplanes" featuring Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens and Denney, on July 8; on the same say the band's then-untitled debut album was set for release "this fall". The band toured with Kid Liberty between July 21 and August 9, in the U.S., before shortly going on tour throughout the rest of August with Dr. Acula, Ender, and Armor for the Broken. On November 29, We Are Defiance started a tour through the U.S., touring with I Am Ghost and label mates This Romantic Tragedy. On December 12, it was announced the band's debut album, Trust in Few (2011), was to be released on March 15, 2011.
At the beginning of 2011, the band went on the Change the World Tour touring through the U.S. together with Monsters, Legend and Dr. Acula. On that tour, the band had a van accident and singer Calzini was brought into the hospital and had to undergo surgery. The reason for that crash was freezing rain. Because of that crash the album's release was delayed until on March 29, 2011, instead of the planned March 15 date. Trust in Few was produced by Denney. Calzini announced that Tyler "Telle" Smith of The Word Alive and Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria would be featured on one song each, on the album, but Worsnop was pulled off from being featured on the record by his label. Fans were allowed to download this song at the band's campaign they started via Twitter called Tweet for a Track. The album peaked at number 28 on the Billboards Heatseekers charts.
