Defender (aka Dustin Spillman) is an electro-ambient-rock culmination that sounds like purity and chaos colliding. It is sonic-driven, highly texturized, unconventional electronic music that’s been described by critics as emotive, honest and exploratory.
In the summer of 2010, Defender relocated from Austin, TX to Portland Oregon where he began collaborating with drummer Jeremy Kaplan, which brought newly interpreted version of Dustin’s electronic music by infusing vocals, live guitars, analogue/digital drums, samples and synthesizers onto the live stage. In the summer of 2011, Defender will release its newest EP and begin touring throughout the Pacific Northwest. Defender’s music can be heard on the MTV show, True Life as well as many college radio stations across the US.
