Woodstock, New York (1994 – present)
There is more than one artist with this name:
A) 3 is an American rock band formed in Woodstock, New York in 1994.
The band was founded as a three piece: Joey Eppard on Guitar and Lead Vocals, Josh Eppard on Drums and Chris Bittner on Bass. They came to the attention of Universal Records after well-received performances at the Woodstock festival in 1994, eventually getting signed in 1998, but following an unstable relationship with the label through its series of corporate mergers, the band was left with little prospect of releasing their album. Eventually, the band decided to release it on Planet Noise Records, a small indie label, and thenceforth managed themselves independently, until their 2005 signing with Metal Blade, on whose label they re-released Wake Pig in late 2005.
Their career has been marked by several line-up changes, most notably Josh Eppard’s departure to join Coheed and Cambria (which he’s no longer a member of), who are now regular touring partners. Chris Gartmann joined the band in 1999 to replace Josh on drums, along with Billy Riker on Guitars, who has remained with the band since. Chris Bittner left in 2001, and was temporarily replaced by Joe Cuchelo. In 2004, Daniel Grimsland took over bass duties.
The band have toured nationally several times, as well as appearing on radio stations throughout the United States. Joey Eppard also has an active solo career, and released a solo album, Been to the Future, in 2002.

Summercamp Nightmare has some good songs, but as a whole album I can't get into it. If you like Wake Pig then The End Is Begun is a good next step. Not sure which of those two is my favourite though...

Wake Pig is probably their darkest, but every album is amazing in its own right.

I listened to Wake Pig a long time ago but it didn't win my attention all that much. Re-listened to it around a month ago and I've been bloody addicted ever since. Am I missing out on the other albums, or are they not as good?

Yeah, another PBN would be awesome. I'll just stick to it since it's like, musical perfection.

Just something to put out there...I don't know if everyone would agree with me, but don't you think "Fable", and I'm talking about the original version, should have been a break through single for 3? Not saying it's made for top 40 lovers or anything, but to me that song was destined for radio with that amazing driving chorus, something that should have made the band huge...but idk, just something to put out there.

all the remakes on Revision is great imo! You've Been Shot have long been one of my fav 3 songs, and this version is supreme. So is the new version of Fable!

I'm really glad they redid Halloween. I saw them live a year ago and they played it and Endless Alibi and they sounded terrific. I can't stand some of the vocals in the original.

Automobile is by far my fav track by them right now. I could listen nonstop and i almost have been.

I agree the second half was fine the way they were...but tracks 1-5, especially the ones I mentioned, are way better than the originals imo. And I hope this means they will go back to the sound they had on PBN and SN...or at least bring some aspects back...like the funk :)
