Trial & Error - Theory of Noise - 13 TONS

Theory of Noise is an up-and-coming rock n’ roll band based out of Merchantville, NJ. In a scene chock full of death metal bands and experimental “emo” bands, Theory of Noise is bringing back the old school of rock music. With the technical ability and catchy melodies similar to that of the Foo Fighters combined with the heaviness and intensity of Breaking Benjamin, Theory of Noise has developed an original sound never before heard on human ears.

Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Paladino is one of the founding members of the band and is the primary lyricist in the band. His memorable vocal melodies have become a favorite at local shows. His lyrics come from true emotion and, through his writing, the band’s music becomes believable and the audience gets wrapped up in the stories.

Lead guitarist Chris Stehm is the other founding member of Theory of Noise and could potentially be the next rock guitar star. His old school approach to the instrument and his perfectionist attitude has aided the band in getting to where they are today. Stehm’s solos are a blinding combination of speed, skill, and raw ability. After hearing Stehm tear it up on his six and seven stringers, you would think he had been playing for twenty years.

Bassist Darian Kennedy lays down the low end and is stuck with the difficult task of keeping up with Stehm’s guitar lines without getting any of the publicity or limelight. Kennedy’s bass lines lay down the foundation for Stehm to do what he does, and for the band to succeed in general. Perhaps one of the best bassists in the Philadelphia area, Kennedy is a key member of the band, and without him Theory of Noise would not be experiencing the progress they are currently enjoying.

Last, but certainly not least, is drummer Alex Berwick. The newest addition to the band has all the chops to keep up and all the experience to make him a perfect match. This 18yr old drummer has been in and out of studio's lending his talents to many recording artists, and his love for the drums is only eclipsed by his love of Snapple. Styling his playing towards Travis Barker and Longineu W. Parsons III its the perfect mix of styles to finally fill out the rhythm section of the band.
