Artist description
VOPC are a band of musicians who were tired of being
on a local scene where all bands and artists, INCLUDING THEMSELVES,
were compared too and sounded like Creed and other like bands in that genre.
Once the took a step outside themselves to actually re-discover
and invoke their true influences...the signature VOPC
sound was born. Part hard rock, pop, and southern rock, the
boys from Kentucky come by their name honestly. |

Artist History
Founder of VOPC Heath Glisson set out with no goals in mind
when he began playing guitar. He just loved music and everything
associated with it. His mother and father had surrounded him with music from
the very start. Along with his brother Kyle, they were
exposed to every style of music imaginable and then beyond
that as well. Chaney and Heath actually grew up together and they started
playing together at age 13. Several forks in the
road and they parted ways. Heath and Kyle forged forward into the
wild blue yonder.
Once they started playing in and out of local bands the realized,
no local bands had an identity of their their own. Everyone was playing the same covers,
everyone was imitating the popular bands of the time. Heath,Kyle and Chaney
realized their lives and the lives of those around them were
a result of everyone being "Victims of Pop Culture." Well it
was born within that. Heath put down the electric and picked an
almost forgotten instrument in modern rock. The acoustic guitar.
He started writing material. Sometimes a song a day. Never writing
about broad topics, always pulling from personal and intimate
topics. As friends started hearing the music, they couldn't believe
what they heard. Roots based acoustic rock, dipped
in a soulful southern rock voice...but with top 40 pop
sensibility. After going through several lineup changes,
the first drummer Heath had every played a show with at
the tender age of 13 walked back into their lives.
As the album nears completion, the world will be at the
perfect point for the music of VOPC. |
