Description:
Audio Kombat Arsenal mixes a progressive, rock, metal sound in what has been labeled Composed Metal. AKA was formed a year ago in the Kansas City area with members Chris Johns on guitar, Eric Morris on the drums, Jarrod Casner on bass and Scott Curts on keyboards. The Arsenal was complete with the addition of vocalist Joe Spiller around August of 2001.
After Countless and grueling hours of rehearsal to break in their new vocalist, The band was offered many different shows in the KC area including America's Pub and Nieners to test there new sound with an audience. AKA met big crowds as they tore into material that people had heard for the very first time. Each time AKA has played, the crowds have gotten bigger and louder as the word spread about there live shows.
As 2002 rolled around, AKA entered the studio Panic Productions to record their first demo. The band picked 3 songs to showcase their wide range of music abilities, while staying true to their own sound. The sudden success of the SPS DEMO through word of mouth and local airplay on radio stations such as 105.9 The Lazer and 90.3 in Parkville, has pushed the band to gear up and get ready to record their first full length record in May.
Although recording, AKA will not break from the live scene with many shows being lined up for early spring 2002. AKA will also be taking there show on the road following their full length CD. Besides the music, The fans, to which they have been labeled " THE ARSENAL", will have many choices in AKA merchandise, ranging from shirts, hats, stickers, and buttons. With 2002 just starting, Audio Kombat Arsenal has premeditated their attack on the Midwest music scene and beyond.
