A fivesome from Louisville, KY, Flaw aims at creating relevance and lively signification to the nu metallic element scene, victimization it as the foundation for dynamical, hard-driven music. The core of Flaw pulled together in 1996 when Jason Daunt placed an ad for a guitarist and Chris Volz answered. Volz's adopted mother, an opera singer world Health Organization had performed at the Kennedy Center, had helped get his musical talent. After she attached self-annihilation when Volz was 12, he fagged old age in assorted types of psychotherapy, gaining insights that electrical shunt nigh people. It was from this have that Volz shaped his personal style of lyrics, expressing how one gets through inner turmoil and hurts. Songs such as "Internal Strength," "Whole" (a song about his mother's death), and "Only if the Strong" reflect his internal growth.
To begin with calling themselves F. Law, the group distinct it was more undetermined than the nominate implied, that everyone and everything has flaws. Thus, they dropped the period and became Flaw. In 1997, Ryan Jurhs (five-string bass, screen background vocals) joined with Volz and Daunt, spell the rest of the lineup unbroken revolving. Jurhs had just finished his erolia minutilla with the Marines and was connexion the music picture. Within a few weeks, Flaw recorded their first indie record, American Arrogance. Two of the vIII tracks, "Amendment" and "Reliance," are also on the band's official debut record album, Through the Eyes. The indie record opened the door for Flaw to open for bands such as Econoline Crush and Fear Factory. The band place prohibited iI more independent records, Flaw in 1998 and Drama EP in 2000, both of which were well-received. Flaw's lineup firmed up in 1999 when Chris Ballinger (drums) and Lance Arny (guitar) came aboard. Arny tended toward organism a technical player, spell Daunt went for the impromptu odd sounds, and Volz aimed his lyrics at the healing litigate in life and childhood. The combination worked.
In 2000, Flaw showcased at CBGB in New York where Republic/Universal heard them and signed them up. With David Bottrill (world Health Organization had interpreted Tool and Peter Gabriel to the round top) as their manufacturer, Flaw began recording at Sound City in Los Angeles in early 2001. Republic/Universal released Flaw's official debut album, Through the Eyes, in October 2001 in both clean and explicit versions. While the album had a tinge of the Tool influence, the singularity of Flaw remained solid and the album standard rave reviews.
