Biography

A Change of Pace was a five piece rock band from Peoria, Arizona. They formed in 2001 when singer Torry Jasper and drummer Jonathan Kelly began playing together after meeting in a high school English class. In 2003, after a few years of jamming and playing small local shows, bassist Johnny Abdullah and guitarist Adam Rodgers joined the band. From there they put some self-produced recordings on MP3.com where they were discovered by manager Jorge Hernandez. Within a few months they had a deal with Immortal Records and released their EP “Change is the Only Constant”. In 2005, they released their first full length album, “An Offer You Can’t Refuse”. In 2006 they released their latest album, titled “Prepare The Masses”.

The band was on both the 2005 and 2006 Vans Warped Tours (often on the smaller Ernie Ball Stage). They were also at the 2006 annual music festival held in the Phoenix area, “Edgefest”.

The original album “An Offer You Can’t Refuse” was composed of all band members except Dan Parker who was added to the line-up. A Change Of Pace also goes by the acronym “ACOP”.

On June 1st, 2008, the band revealed on their MySpace blog how original singer, Torry Jasper would be replaced by their good friend Micah Bentley. The change brought about a new sound, as well as a new EP entitled “Just No Better Way.” The news comes merely weeks before A Change of Pace heads out on their summer tour.

After delays, the band put forth their final LP in February 22, 2011, entitled “Couldn’t Be Worse”. It incorporated both of their older and newer sounds.

    Torry's back! [2] Yeeeh, he's back with the band. I'm looking forward to this. I stopped listening to them after Torry left. Their sound totally changed after Micah joined. ;[

    Also, if you like their "old" stuff, then listen to it, and stop complaining. They changed their sound, and if you have been a true fan, you've enjoyed it and realized that the change was their decision and something they wanted to do. Get over it. It's been three years. You move on at some point, and either roll with it, or get out.

    Their show tonight was the greatest ever. I'm so glad I came to Arizona to see them perform for the last time. They were wonderful, and Torry sang a few songs. It was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better farewell from my favorite band. I'm going to miss them like crazy, but I will never forget tonight's show.
