The band first started off in the fall of 2005 with Eric Waldron as our lead singer. The rest of the members remained the same except Alex hadn't joined up yet. A few months later Eric decided to fill his dreams with another band so he left us. Then came Alex. Along with Alex came the name the E.B.C. (everything but country). We played one show as the E.B.C. and it was a great show thanks to all of the fans that came out and supported us! Well.. this past school year we decided that we need to get a little more serious about our music. So we started with Changing our name to Kevlar and Alex moved down to Rhythm guitar due to lack of equipment. Right now we are kind of stuck in mud, like every band has been at some point. We need a singer to step up and take control.

Chasing Chaos is a South Michigan band. We started out when guitarists Blake, Brett, and bassist Chase started jamming together. We started to write full songs and thought we should make a band. With ex- drummer Kyle Perkins, we started practicing with the four of us, with Kyle at drums, Chase on the bass, Brett on guitar, and Blake rounding off with lead vocals and guitar. We started to practice and Blake realized that with the songs we had, he couldn't sing and play well at the same time. So the search for a new singer began. We wound up choosing Jozzy, the only female member. Then, we had to let Kyle go because he wasn't focused enough. So we had current drummer Steve Tennis give it a shot and he rocked the audition. Unfortunately, we had some problems within the band that caused some conflicts. As of 4-30-08, due to those conflicts, Jozzy was removed from the band. We started looking for a singer and had to look no further than across the street as rocker and musical virtuoso, David Hall was placed in the singer spot, adding along the capacity for piano among other things. With our current lineup we are ready to take the music scene by storm. Watch out, cause here we come

Bio:
We are a band of small turmoil. We started out as Chris, Sheldon, Ryan, and Andrew. Chris was forced to leave after a few months due to personal problems, so we decided to recruit Alex. Just recently Chris has gotten the chance to return. So with our new guitar trio we plan to rock hard and win out overall.
