Through a jungle of cement and
asphalt, divided by hills, the story
of our four young heroes began. They
were out on a mission. Not to
conquer, not to change, only to
learn from the gods of rock and to
blend together the different creeds
in order to form a new and all
powerful sound. It was merely a
pursuit of truth. A dogma based on
happiness, goodness, and true
friendship. Unfortunately, many foes
rose up to stand in their way. It
was the high school years and each
was out on their own struggling
against the school mandated edicts
against rock that stated, "Any soul
who was to be caught rocking out in
public would be expelled". This is
where our story begins. When as
individuals, our heroes set out to
undermine the evil decree and follow
their rock n roll dreams. After
seven years of playing and composing
classical piano, Theo Gersht had an
urge to pick up the guitar. After a
couple months of playing around and
teaching himself how to play, Theo
decided it was time to form a band.
He teamed up with his high school
buddy Jonah and Aaron Revivo(captain
of the nearby Grant High School drum
line). Although this band only went
so far and led to Jonah and Theo
dropping out of school, Theo and
Aaron decided they were in for life.
Theo continued to compose and one
day decided to record a demo in a
studio playing all the instruments
himself aside from drums. The two
began circulating demos everywhere
and the response was enormous! At
that point they realized they needed
more man power if they were to
successfully fulfill their dreams.
They asked Sam White, another exiled
high school friend, who really
couldn't play bass well at first,
but they needed someone and he
learned... fast. After the breakup
up his band Chains of Freedom, where
he was the lead-singer/guitarist,
Avromie joined his contemporaries.
As an amazing guitarist with a
charismatic personality, he was
another renegade in their high
school, leading his own fight
opposing the counterproductive rules
against creativity. The line up was
now complete and the boys graduated
to men. With their unique and
individual personalities and
backgrounds they united to form a
larger than life musical leadership
allowing every person regardless of
race, ideals, or background to have
a friend with whom they can relate
to. IN THEORY. Using their catchy
tunes and amazing live shows, they
set the stage for the amazing future
that lies ahead. Hard hitting drums,
pounding bass, thick guitars with
both lead and backup vocals coupled
with acrobatics and energy on stage,
the boys can pump up a crowd of
people in a graveyard. Our four
heroes with the help of their best
friends Daneil, Jared, and Avi have
toured the West and Mid-West U.S.
and played venues such as: The House
of Blues Sunset Strip, The Whiskey a
Go Go, The Roxy, The Key Club, All
three rooms of the Knitting Factory
Hollywood, B.B. Kings and Jillians
at Universal City Walk, The El Rey
Theater, Chain Reaction, Studio S,
The Cobalt Café, college parties,
Six Flags Magic Mountain, several
events for Transworld Surf and Skate
Magazines on bills with band such
as: My Chemical Romance, Papa Roach,
Hawthorn Heights, Reliant K, Story
of the Year, Alien Ant Farm,
Handsome Devil, The Plain White T-s,
Anberlin, The Sleeping, Hed PE, A
Change of Pace, Never Heard of It,
HelloGoodbye, Nural, The Matches,
Jenoah, Daphne Loves Derby, This
Providence, Sherwood, Near Miss,
Kaddisfly, and the list goes on. It
is still a jungle, there are still
hills dividing, but IN THEORY is
overcoming and rising and it is only
thanks to you that we can follow our
dreams.
