As You Were

In today's ever advancing technological society, few things hold peoples interest for too long. Fortunately, great hard rock music has withstood the test of time. Take a heaping teaspoon of originality, sprinkled with an unrivaled live performance, and I give you As You Were! With a smooth blend of classic, modern, metal, and groove, topped off with the occasional ballad, As You Were creates a surefire hit with a style all their own. Don't be fooled by their young faces.
Individually, As You Were are music professionals who take the utmost pride in their craft. While spanning several years of individual hard work, with a relentless team effort that strives only for perfection.
As You Were has built themselves from the ground up, into one of the best rock acts Southern California has to offer. They have amassed a large, and loyal following while playing some of the top spots in Southern California. These polished musical veterans have shared the stage with numerous big names from Poison, to Buckcherry, to Alien Ant Farm, and many more. They've performed numerous headlining gigs, and sold out shows to the delight of many screaming fans.
In 2010, As You Were roared into the Southern California music scene and never looked back. They were the musical guests on Nightcap with host, Sebrina Brian of the Cheetah Girls, they followed that performance by overcoming many hard fought obstacles to beat out over 250 submitted bands, and take first place in The Sam Ash Southern California Championship, and earning them an endorsement with Electro-Voice (one of the best sound companies in the world). In late October 2010 they performed in front of a sold out crowd, as they released their first album entitled "Out Of Control" and their music video for their critically acclaimed tune "Rock All Night With You", which has been requested on several radio stations.
In 2011 they stepped up their game, reinventing themselves with a new, slightly edgier groove, chock-full of catchy, memorable choruses that you're sure to be humming for days. This newer style gained an even greater response, including a regular rotation on Rock 105.3, San Diego's hottest rock music station. As You Were continues to build on their large, loyal following, which helps make them one of the more popular acts of any independent artist in southern California. Venues can attest to their hard work, and fans can vouch for a mesmerizing experience and jaw dropping performance. This is why they headline, and fill such venues as The House Of Blues over and over again.
Early 2012, As You Were released their first fully produced album entitled "The Calm Before..." at The House Of Blues Anaheim, and are working on a unique, slightly controversial music video. Then they'll take their high energy, and live intensity to the road, leaving only a wake of old & new fans screaming for more. As You Were has the brightest of futures, with an ever growing following, huge marketable music, and a live show that can't be beat. In the upcoming year, they plan to take the Southern California music scene, and beyond by storm. So get your horns up, and your hiking boots on, and welcome to "Camp A.Y.W."!
