As music grows in genre, the lines of difference of sound have faded to create a disastrous blur of identical music. AIMLESS has dug deep into the roots of what began this great aspect of life we call Rock and Roll, then put a modern and energetic spin on the issues of life and growing up with an unfamiliar rhyme scheme. AIMLESS works to make their fans feel comfort in the songs they write about not fitting in or being dealt a bad hand in life. Writing music about previous events that took place in their own lives inspired the music they sing. It served as some kind of therapy to heal open wounds in their own lives and in the process, it developed an irreplaceable chemistry.
Derek Powell (vocals and guitar), The founder of the band was in a previous band called AIMLESS with Grant Gardner(vocals and bass) but the project eventually split due to a disagreement to future plans. He did not give up playing and eventually met Myles (vocals and lead guitar) who moved down to Tempe, Arizona from Colorado to play in a band called Acoma Red. Derek was asked to join Acoma Red as a rhythm guitarist but the venture soon faded out and lead Derek and Myles paths to cross each others. Derek and Myles experimented for months with genres of music including a regretful acoustic jazz project, but both soon got sick of experimentation and wanted to get back to having fun with what they did best, rock and roll. Soon after the decision was made for the direction of the band, the call was made to former drummer of Elyason Drew Newburg and ex AIMLESS bassist Grant to fill the opening spots of what would soon to be a masterpiece. They kept the name AIMLESS because it stood for something more to them. AIMLESS stands for what they had felt of rejection with friends, women, and bands. It reminded them to keep passionately doing what they love even though the odds can vary from day to day. Listening to AIMLESS puts melody to the adventure of this life.
