The band started in September of 2001 when a group of four friends went to a local concert and decided to start a punk/rock band. Before the band the members just slept, ate food, and played video games, to put it one way we are just a group of stupid kids who loved punk and rock music. The band consisted of Eric Egavian (left) on guitar, Kevin Harrington on guitar and vocals, Jimmy Edson (middle) on bass, and Gregg Kelly (right) on drums. The band was going steadly and sucked at first like any other band which starts out. In the beginning they had sucky hits like Lost and Found and an instrumental AAO. When All At Once started out their equipment really sucked and was hard to work with.
Now AAO has a great set of equipment. Eric has a 150 wat, Marshall amplifier, Shure mic and a Dean Playmate guitar. Jimmy has a 160 wat Carvin bass amplifier and a Hohner PJ bass. Gregg has two drum sets, the one we jam with is a Space percussion set and the other is a Pearl. The band is inspired by many artists like Stone Temple Pilots, Midtown, The Ramones, Tom Petty, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Millencolin, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and many other punk and rock bands. Later on Kevin was involved in many other activities and could not attend jams. So he was kicked out of the band respectevly and the band moved on with Eric taking on both guitar and vocals. The band didn't think that Eric was a good singer in the beginning so we took a new member of AAO Greg Kurchjian. He was a fairly good singer but was not commited at all so he was kicked out within a few weeks. The band was in search of another singer when they realized that Eric just needed some work and now he sounds fine. Now All At Once is now getting shows and is opening for bands with great new songs like Till I'm Done, Distorted, Never, and many others. All At Once forever.
