AEPOC
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Jason was in the 1-person band "jawa!" in 1997. Created "The Kaynine Project" in 1998 which lasted a year and a half. Was in "Drone Failure" in 1999, and left the band because he was doing all the work and taking no credit. Created AEPOC in June of 2000.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We currently do not play live. If we did, it'd be more or less in Madison and Middleton, Wisconsin.
Your musical influences
The musicians who have influenced us are: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden (mainly Chris Cornell), Rage Against The Machine, Depeche Mode, Stabbing Westward, The Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails, Gravity Kills, Hate Department (Hate Dept.), and a tiny bit of Marilyn Manson.
What equipment do you use?
We use Fender, Schecter, and Ernie Ball guitars. Ibanez and Fender basses Epiphone guitars, Ibanez bass guitars. Line6, THD, and Fender amps, Shure microphones.
Anything else?
We're very diverse... whatever it is we want to create at the time we'll make. Hard rock? Sure, crank it up. Mellower, slower rock, not a problem. Pop/Rock... well, if you mean "Catchy Rock" then yes, we can pull that off too. :)
With music the way it is today, we almost don't like calling ourselves musicians. But look at it from where we're coming from. All these big bands make their music for the money. The only thing we're looking for is people to hear our music.
