	THE APEX THEORY - BIOGRAPHY - hip online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		This creative tradition was inaugurated soon after Andy (who started out as a drummer) met bassist David during their early teen years.
		Andy, Art, David and Sammy credit Gilmore with helping them make this transition from the stage to the studio.
		He had specific ideas for some songs, while he felt others were ready to be recorded as is. Don is also a very funny guy, and his sense of humor was a big help.

	The Apex Theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Three of the original band members (former vocalist Ontronik "Andy" Khatchaturian, bassist David Hakopyan and guitarist and current vocalist Art Karamian) are Armenian by heritage, which can be distinctly heard from their Mediterranean time signature.
		Later in 2002, vocalist Ontronik "Andy" Khachaturian (who previously played drums for System of a Down before founding The Apex Theory) left the band due to differences in musical opinions.
		Khachaturian is currently involved in a solo project and a band dubbed VoKEE.

	The Songs of The Apex Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Andy, Art and David were raised in the Los Angeles area; Sammy grew up in Chimacum, Wash. As teens they sponged up a variety of musical genres, everything from heavy metal and pop to jazz and classical.
		Andy, David and Art had just about given up when Andy heard Sammy playing in another band and invited him to sit in with The Apex Theory.
		Asked about his personal creative method, Andy says his experience as a drummer has a lot to do with his writing and the way he sings; often, the sound and rhythm of a lyric have as much impact as its meaning.

		During this time, The Apex Theory was receiving multiple calls a day from record labels, and the band was recognizing that their small unit, that they were comfortable with for the time being, was beginning to catch on and wouldn't be staying small for very much longer.
		Andy explains the process used to choose their five songs, "Two of the songs were already on the Random Bursts album ["Shh...

		Instead, singer Andy Khachaturian said the real priority was to enjoy the music-making process.
		Khachaturian credits producer Don Gilmore-known for his work with Sugar Ray, Pearl Jam, Linkin Park and Lit-with helping to sharpen a few song arrangements and bring the band's sound to life on Topsy Turvy.
		Khachaturian said he sees some parallels between the sound of the two bands-particularly in the rhythms and chanted vocals used at times by both groups-but he's also quick to emphasize some key musical contrasts.

	Apex Theory makes twisted metal (printable version)
		Even Andy Khachaturian, the Los Angeles band’s lead singer and lyricist, is at a loss for how to label the four-piece group’s music.
		Khachaturian’s father is Greek-Armenian, so the singer grew up listening to many styles of music.
		Khachaturian also offered some advice to other bands struggling to perform their craft, although it could benefit people of any trade.

	Interview with the Apex Theory (NY Rock)
		When I first met the Apex Theory in 2000, they already had a devoted fan base in Los Angeles, easily packing famous local clubs like the Roxy and the Troubadour.
		I think it's fair to say that the example I've been using today [with other journalists] is obvious.
		Andy, is it true you were System's ex-drummer?

		Andy: Well, I played accordion from the age of seven till about thirteen and then picked up piano and then when I was about fourteen I started playing drums.
		Andy: I don't really know what success means but the way I would measure it is to be able to do something you love to do and wake up every morning doing it.
		Andy: That's funny because yesterday someone said that the current musical climate is positive but I don't really see it as we don't really pay attention to that.

		The music to "Bullshed" is so haunting that when the song slows down about a minute and a half into the song to allow Andy to sing alone in their silence, his vocals seem to come from nowhere and exit with the same impression.
		Andy sings, "It would be much easier to be single for the rest of my life." In all actuality, too many of us can relate to that.
		The song hits a high note mid-way through and then Andy gasps, "She's calming me..." with an echo of Andy's vocals fading back as the spiraling guitars move to the front.

		Described as a "heavy Mediterranean groove" by lead vocalist Andy Khachaturian, The Apex Theory combines a heavy drum support, melodic guitars and honey sweet vocals to provide an entertaining and emotional message.
		Dressed in a flowing blue robe-like outfit, the platinum blond Khachaturian took time to talk to the audience between his hopping and dancing about the front of St. Andrews and even provided a killer keyboarding performance.
		Supported by the talent and charisma of his bandmates, The Apex Theory gave one hell of a live show getting everyone in the building to their feet and building a platform of positive energy for the remainder of the evening.

		Khachaturian sings "Can you please explain/the reason why you are so/afraid of consequence/when we first said hello" — all about the normal trials and tribulations of having a relationship with anyone, whether lover or family member.
		The album's first single, "Shh...(Hope Diggy)," is a great song, all instruments pounding in a percussive beat; but Khachaturian yells the lyrics and returns to singing in the chorus.
		His yelling and ranting detracts from the harmony that makes the album what it is. Light use of electric sound is a bit of an embellishment as well, but it does not detract from the quality of the album: it's just a bit too much icing on the cake.

	ROCKZONE.COM: CD Reviews: The Apex Theory
		When "Shhh...(hope diggy)" starts, you think you’re about to hear just another rock band, well, then the bottom drops out and you are left with spacey guitar riffs from Art Karamian and the oddball rantings of Andy Khachaturian.
		On the next track, "Bullshed," Khachaturian comes with some keyboards to accent the madness that is an Apex Theory song.
		As with the other tracks on the album, there are weird rantings and subtle themes covered by Khachaturian in his lyrics.

	'Topsy-turvy' indeed: album flips from complex to corny - Culture
		The album is the follow-up to an EP that was released earlier this year and is an impressive introductory piece of work.
		It even includes a chorus in the track "That's All!," during which Khachaturian sings the melody for "Living the Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin with almost exactly the same vocal inflection as Martin.
		The lyrics are all stream of consciousness put to verse and Khachaturian requests that they be interpreted subjectively.

	The Apex Theory
		Singer Andy Khachaturian, guitarist Art Karamian and bassist David Hakopyan are all of Armenian descent, and though drummer Sammy Watson doesn't have that lineage, he's a integral part of the multicultural influence that's found on the Los Angeles-based rock group's debut
		Khachaturian has a lot of respect for bands like Led Zeppelin and Jane's Addiction, but he says The Apex Theory's diverse sound is genuine.
		"He was one of the ones we wanted to meet with; actually, I should say he wanted to meet us," Khachaturian said.

		The Apex Theory is: Andy (Vocals and Percussion), Art (Guitars and Keys), David (Bass), and Sammy J. (Drums).
		Although singer Andy Khachaturian and bassist David Hakopyan are originally from the Los Angeles area, their Armenian background gives the band a Mediterranean sound unlike anything I've heard recently.

	[No title]
		The scene has definitely moved on in the time since they released their full-length debut ("Topsy-Turvy"), they lost their label (Dreamworks Records) and their singer (Andy Khachaturian), but one would like to believe that their breed of talent and songwriting ability deserves some merit.
		While this is an enjoyable outing it never demands one's full attention, and if the you aren't listening intently you're apt to miss the band's deviation from the script entirely.
		Though this EP is the first to feature guitarist Artin Karamian as the primary vocalist one would be hard pressed to notice the difference, as he does his very best Andy Khachaturian impression.

	Apex brings energy to Newport - Arts
		Andy Khachaturian (vocals), Art Karamian (guitar) and David Hakopyan (bass) have brought the influences of the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Near Eastern music they heard at home to The Apex Theory.
		The band credits each song to the group as a whole, as they are equal collaborators — no one is the star.
		Although lead singer Khachaturian may be difficult to understand at times, his words seem to be left open to interpretation, which is the case with most of the screaming rock bands they play alongside.

		While it's easy to sing along to, it doesn't make any sense, even in Armenian, the language in which it was written.
		"There's no literal translation," said vocalist Andy Khachaturian last week from a couch in his manager's office.
		The rest of the lyrics are in English and while they're also cryptic, they're nowhere near as lighthearted: "I can't take the squeaks any more than I can take you/ You say you're sick of me, well I'm sick of you too/ Haven't you gone far enough, my friend?"

		While System Of A Down is on the main stage and receives second billing to only Ozzfest founder Ozzy Osbourne himself, Apex Theory will be playing the more intimate second stage, where new artists are profiled for the hard rock crowd.
		Despite the restrictions of a 25-minute set, this is exactly where Khachaturian wants to be.
		Considering the quartet has been on the road since March 2001 opening for Stabbing Westward, Static-X, Alien Ant Farm, and Linkin Park and playing last year's Vans Warped Tour, Apex Theory feels it has figured out the rigors of festival touring.

	CANOE -- JAM! - TOPSY TURVY
		Lots of interesting B-sections, electronic elements and odd time signatures break up the usual soft-verse-loud-chorus approach and give the whole thing a "Puddle of Rush" feel.
		Vocalist Andy Khachaturian's manic blend of rapping and singing - on lyrics that range from probing and dark to totally senseless - owes something to fellow Armenian Serj Tankian from the like-minded metal band System of a Down.
		In practice, the Apex Theory is another ray of hope for the future of progressive rock.
