Album Notes

Peoria, Illinois, the famous mob stop on the Illinois River between Chicago and St. Louis, known for gambling, prostitution, and blue collar aggression, is a breeding ground for Shred-Metal, muscle cars, and Al Capone wannabe’s. Why? As the band Mudvayne put it, “There is nothing better to do in Peoria than to rehearse and write music,” which may demystify the reality of an active rock scene in the River City.

Enter 3AMproject, a 4 piece rock band of 22 year old cronies who bring straight-forward, drop-tuning riffs and ambient vocal melodies mashed with carefully executed drumming to form a fully developed, in your face sound that is guaranteed to knock you on your ass! Take the technical ability of Dream Theater, the hammering aggression of Tool, and the haunting melodies of Disturbed, and you have 3AMproject.

Sparked in 2002 by drummer Joey Gibbs and guitarist Bobby Seelye, and soon after joined by drummer-turned vocalist Denver Watters and bassist Bob Gibbs, 3AMproject was ignited. They have since entered two world-class recording studios to complete the recording of their debut album, “3AMproject”. The Chicago Recording Company sessions were self-produced, while the second and most recent sessions were held at Gravity Studios by Doug McBride, pioneer of “The Chicago Rock Sound” and known for his work with The Smashing Pumpkins, Veruca Salt, Cheap Trick, Frogpond, Enuff Z' Nuff, Tub Ring, Oh My God, and most recently Fall Out Boy.

Beginning with a string of “Shredfest” concerts, their debut as the opening act for the 40 Below Summer show, and the recent release of their self-titled album “3AMproject”, the band continues to dominate the Central Illinois music scene by winning the WIXO “99X” Nutcracker Christmas Concert Competition in front of a sold-out crowd of 1,000 at Peoria’s Expo Gardens and sharing the stage with Cynder. Thanks to a growing and dedicated fan base, the track “Help Yourself” is now in rotation on both WIXO 99X and WWCT 96.5 and the band quickly ripped through 100 CD’s and 60 T-Shirts at their CD release party on November 24, 2004 in the middle of the worst blizzard to hit Illinois in 80 years! 3AMproject looks forward to the summer of 2005 and wants to do nothing more than tour, tour, tour.

Ultimately 3AMproject aims to reach goals of signing a multi-record deal, and powering through the Active-Rock airwaves to become one of the hottest new rock acts to break the scene. A strong Music Industry Team, a rapidly growing fan-base, and talented hard working musicians will forge together to realize these goals. Listen to the album, experience one of the shows, and you will not soon forget 3AMproject!
