Honestly, what do you remember about being 19 years old? Probably nothing. For the members of A Change Of Pace (a four piece rock band formed out in the bland cul-de-sac loops of suburban Peoria, Arizona) that time wasn’t exactly ages ago, In fact, for a few of the band’s members (vocalist and occasional guitarist Torry Jasper, drummer Jonathan Kelly, bassist Johnny Abdullah and lead guitarist Adam Rodgers) it was only a matter of months. But the memories they have from that time still seem to be reasonably summed up in one word. Nothing. Which is not to say the memories have faded.

Today, as they discuss their full-length debut, An Offer You Can’t Refuse, the band can hardly break from reliving some of their history’s lowlights. Like the time that a pre-facial hair Rodgers was nearly denied the right to perform with A Change Of Pace at a live show because he didn’t visibly look 18 years old. (Incidentally, he was still 17.) They can still laugh about the garage sales and car washes they held in order to record 2003’s Change Is The Only Constant, their first self-released EP. They can even recall (and, remarkably, engage) in the same senseless argument they had at their first band practice: a heated dispute over a video game.

But what A Change Of Pace really remembers about those formative years is the nothingness of their hometown; the empty days and even emptier holes in their lives that it seemed like only music could fill.
