"Wasting My Time" by Default

One Hit Thunder

In this week’s episode, we dive into the Canadian rock band Default and their 2001 hit "Wasting My Time," a song that left an indelible mark on what many would call the "butt rock" genre. Our Patreon supporters voted for this track, so Matt and I are breaking down the elements that make this tune both memorable and, in some ways, quintessentially generic rock. Default's name feels fitting as we struggle to pin down any genre beyond that. Despite their breakup in 2013, the band's lead singer Dallas Smith took a surprising twist in his career that has us scratching our heads about the Canadian charts. Join us as we explore whether Default was truly wasting our time or if they hit a fleeting moment of musical thunder.
