e(v)olocity. The name implies a melding of evolution and velocity; and for good reason. e(v)olocity is a high-impact band that presents a step forward in the growth and development of hard rock and alternative music.
Furthermore, e(v)olocity is a veritable hydra of musical interests and influences. After initially forming in their native state of Vermont, vocalist Aaron and guitarist Jazz soon
decided on a move to Phoenix, Arizona, along with the addition of keyboardist Raydn1, bassist Melon and drummer Cor(e) for the creation of e(v)olocity.
When asked to describe e(v)olocitys sound, Aaron says, We have a sound that is originally familiar. If you like rock music, its hard not to dig us. We offer something for everybody. Ive had people say to me I usually hate this kind of music, but your band is fantastic.
e(v)olocity is the sum of many unique parts. Cor(e) asserts that "Each of us is a product of our influences, but our influences and musical tastes differ so greatly. Jazz adds, You can hear strokes of color from our influences, but in the end, it's an entirely new sound.
Indeed, the diverse influences certainly come through in e(v)olocitys sound, as the band seamlessly combines melodic pleasantries with thunderous hard rock. As Raydn1 puts it, e(v)olocity music is organized confusion. This musically-prismatic powerhouse packs a unique sound that will draw comparisons to artists as diverse as Tool, Sevendust and Faith No More.
Hard work and great music are winning e(v)olocity a solid fan base. The band has won sponsorships from Jagermeister, Kronik Energy Drink and Hellion Industries clothing.
e(v)olocity has already shared the stage with heavy hitters like Velvet Revolver, Breaking Benjamin, 10 Years and Hurt. With appearances at several notable festivals, participation in the National Zippo Hot Tour Competition and having their music added to over 200 college radio stations in 2005, only greater things can be expected when their first single Too Far soon heads for radio.
e(v)olocitys eponymous debut was produced and engineered by Bill Kennedy (Megadeth, Nine Inch Nails, Filter). It features mixing by Toby Wright (Korn, Alice In Chains, 3 Doors Down) and John Gray (Soulfly).
