Achilles Flaw. is a Simi Valley band that formed in late 2002. After many great times, bad times, setbacks and member changes, they've struggled on and stay comitted to making the music they love.
Why this name?
It was really just a random process. At first we chose the name "Disavow", but not long after we reconsidered. It was then that we got together and discussed more of our less typical interests. We started playing around with greek myths for a little bit and at one point, someone said, "achilles flaw?" and it just sort of stuck.
Do you play live?
Yes we do, as often as possible. Mainly in the Hollywood and surrounding areas, but we spread out to Ventura and LA counties as well. WE LOVE playing live. Its the only reason we need to walk. Every show is a special moment....but when we played with Bleeding Through, that sorta changed us as a band.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Personally, i think it's great. Bands get great opportunities due to the Mp3 generation. Technology is always gonna get better, it's up to the industry to keep up with and utilize it to it's best ability.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It depends. The accordances of the contract will forever make that decision. If everything was perfect, we kept creative freedom and we don't get jacked off by up front loans, then it would be wonderful. But only if was perfect.
Band History:
Achilles Flaw was formed in late 2002. Current members include Chris, Donnie, Andrew, Dave and Ricky. We've been up and down, side to side, back to front and repeat. We've gone through several line-up changes over the years, and have now settled on our current members. We are currently writing and recording new material for a self-produced EP that we have planned to see the the sun sometime in the summer.... We've played with bands such as Bleeding Through, Curl up and Die, Zao, Fear Before The March Of Flames, The Agony Scene, If Hope Dies, Sworn Enemy, Sinai Beach, Bury Your Dead, Embrace Today, and many more. We love our music and eveyone that is a fan. Thanks for the support. Look forward to great new music and exciting new shows coming very soon....... - Achilles Flaw
Your influences?
Every member in Achilles Flaw has very diverse and different musical influences than the next member, but I can say that as a whole, we gather a lot of influences from ZAO, DARKEST HOUR, BOTCH, LAMB OF GOD, and TONS of 80's music.
Favorite spot?
Hollywood has treated Achilles Flaw alright, but we love the north. I see us based in San Fransisco soon.....
