Album Notes

Aphonic began playing out in the Detroit area in 1999, but moved in 2001 to the city of Bloomington, IN, where Pat and Matt had enrolled at the Indiana University School of Music. Here they met bass player Luke Schram, who soon joined the Aphonic lineup. In the following year, Aphonic traveled frequently between Bloomington, NYC, and Detroit. Their music is influenced by both classical music and rock, and the result is an intensely artistic blend comparable to the sounds of U2, Pink Floyd and Radiohead. During the winters of 2002-2004, Aphonic traveled extensively despite the demands of the music school, and in the summers they moved back to Detroit to rehearse and record. A demo recorded at the Whiteroom Studios and Swag Studios in 2006 resulted in increasing attention across the Midwest and East Coast, especially in NYC. The demo quickly became a self-released EP under the name Airport Bars. Since then Aphonic has been traveling regularly and has completed the album Why it Sometimes Feels Good. Increasing attention in the United States and Europe has prompted the band to release the album and plan a small tour for spring 2006. When they are not traveling, Aphonic lives and rehearses in Detroit. More information, music, and press details are available at the Aphonic website, www.aphonic.com.
