music in companion with modern hard-rock instrumentation is being shown. This album is currently being under

The Aspect Band
The Aspect Band played the Danbury, CT, area for many years and became
popular. Keith and I parted ways around 1978 and did not get back
together until the wake of Charles Grose, on May 11, 2000. I went to
Keith's house after the wake and listened to what Keith was doing with
his music. He was writing the drums and keyboard parts, playing his
guitar and singing. I had been writing my own music, and had about 15
songs that I wanted to record. Keith and I decided to get back
together and work on these songs. Keith wrote the drums and synth
parts, and plays his guitar. I play bass and we both sing. We decided
to call ourselves The Aspect Band again and put out this CD called
"My Hammer is my Axe." We expect to have the work completed by the
end of summer 2001. Welcome to our version of the red sports car.

from house to baroque, from progressive to art rock and back again,
there is something for everybody. Each track is different from the last.
