Defiant Angel hails from Birmingham Alabama. Three of the members were the original members of Citizen Jayne. After a amicable split, Curt, Ed and Frank decided to start a new project called Defiant Angel. Searing, intense, and a ton of fun are just a few things you will get at one of our shows.

Curt Granger is Defiant Angel's guitarist. Curt has an extensive history of recording and performing with established circuit bands, including Citizen Jayne, Pyrate, Scream Sophie, and Traumatide - all which recorded and released full length CDs internationally and performed countless shows all across the southeast and midwest US. While with these bands Curt played dates with artists such as Atlanta Rhythm Section, 38 Special, Mr. Big, Molley Hatchet, Will and the Bushman, Damon Johnson, Sum 41, and Good Charlotte. Anyone who's seen and heard Curt play knows he plays with fire, conviction, and has a solid command of his instrument. He can also tell some of the best "road stories."

Ed Isbell is Defiant Angel's bassist. Formerly with Citizen Jayne, FaceDown and Even Steven, Ed is a "bass player's bassist" adding tasty, yet rock-solid parts to the foundation of the rhythm section. Ed's no stranger to the big stage, having performed shows with Poison, Cinderella, and Godsmack. Ed's been around and just about seen it all. He's by far one of the best rock bassists performing on the circuit today.

Frank Norred is Defiant Angel's drummer. Formerly with Citizen Jayne, Mothers Medicine, Even Steven, and The Candy Shines Band, Frank is a dedicated student of tempo and meter, with impeccable timing. Frank has performed on big stages with Godsmack, Poison, Cinderella, and Faster Pussycat. Frank serves up the grooves that make everyone want to dance. He'll also leave you in stitches with one of his jokes.

Jonathan Spidle is Defiant Angel's lead vocalist. He has performed with numerous circuit bands, including Gus Whitaker Band, Bo Bice's Sugar Money, Hip Knuckles and Found Black Puppy.

Defiant Angel has their sites set on entertaining as many people as possible and bringing the "authentic, no-frills" rock to wherever they perform. Defiant Angel is available to play club gigs, private functions, outdoor festivals, or any other event where an experienced, happening rock band is needed.
