A.O.A. was formed in early 2000 by Tony Holtz, Roy Sommer and Sterling Campbell.

Sterling elaborates: "Basically Tony and Roy were getting alot of great music off of the IRC's at the time that we had never heard before. Stuff like Bomb 20, ATR, Boards of Canada and alot of Jungle music. We were hooked to that aggresive digital style immediately." After a couple of weeks Dave Lowther and AURELE joined the group and we have been writing on and off ever since."

A.O.A's first cd "Tactile Force" was released on DTRASH RECORDS in 2001. 4 years in the making, 2005's "Riot Gear" is now out on SWEDGE RECORDINGS. Please pick up a copy today! Read more on Last.fm.
