Defy the Tide is a melodic heavy metal band from Pittsburgh, PA and surrounding Ohio Valley area. The band was founded in May of 2014 when vocalist Carly Simon-Warneke and bassist Greg Fristick were assisted by Resistance 13 vocalist Jeremy Wright in recruiting guitarists Jesse Scott and Matt Friede along with drummer Luke Tenley.

After a few jam sessions, they knew they had something special, and Defy the Tide became a reality. The band recorded a debut EP in August 2014 at Innovation Studios in Steubenville, OH, which was released that October.

A follow-up EP titled "In the Shadows I Shine" was track Sacred Sound Recording Studios with producer Andrew D'Cagna (Brimstone Coven/Metal Blade Records) and released in 2016.

Now the band returns with a third EP - entitled "Soteria" - which was recorded at Vibe Studios and was produced and engineered by John Burke and Defy the Tide.
