Band history

1995-2004

Flaw was formed in 1995 when vocalist Chris Volz answered an ad in a local paper placed by guitarist Jason Daunt, looking for a singer for an alternative/industrial band. The band's rhythm section progressed through several line-ups but solidified with the addition of bassist Ryan Jurhs in 1998. That same year the band recorded their first independent record American Arrogance. Chris Volz is an American musician based in Louisville, Kentucky. ... American Arrogance is Flaws first indie album, self-released in 1997 on cassette tape. ...

Because they were low on money, the band ordered everything they needed to record from the Musician's Friend catalog, then returned it using the 30-day return policy. Their album gave them the opportunity to open for acts including Fear Factory and Econoline Crush. A local radio station, The Fox, broadcasted the songs from Flaw's indie disc, giving them further notoriety.

Two more independent records, 1998's self titled album Flaw and 2000's Drama were later produced. Flaw then signed to Universal/Republic Records in 2000, and proceeded to release their debut album, Through the Eyes in 2001. The album eventually topped the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, due to moderate playback of their music videos "Payback" and "Whole" on MTV2 and rock radio stations. In 2002, the band played at Ozzfest.

In 2004, after three years without releasing a new album, Flaw returned to the studio to begin recording their second studio album, Endangered Species. The band had parted ways with guitarist Jason Daunt and drummer Chris Ballinger, and the new line-up caused controversy amongst fans. The first and only single released from Endangered Species was "Recognize" and it received little amount of radio play. A music video was supposed to be filmed for the single but it never happened. Endangered Species is the second (and apparently, final) album by Flaw. ...

Endangered Species debuted at #42 on the Billboard Top 200, selling 27,527 copies in its first week. The album received mixed reviews from fans, partly due to the softer nature of the album when compared to the debut album, Through the Eyes. Flaw was soon dropped by Universal Records after failing to sell 500,000 copies of both their albums, and eventually disbanded.

Breakup and post-breakup projects (2004-2006)

Flaw was dropped by their label Universal Records in late 2004 and eventually broke up after. The band's final days left many angry fans venting on the band's message board. The band had scheduled a few shows within their surrounding states, and when the break-up news began to circulate, no one from the band stepped forward to confirm or deny it. Several fans drove hundreds of miles to see the shows only to be told by club managers that the band unexpectedly canceled without notice. The group's website had, at the time, still displayed a notice which read "Flaw is still playing". Universal Records is an American record label owned by Universal Music Group. ...

After Flaw broke up, Chris Volz eventually started up an entirely new band with drummer Ivan Arnold who had played with Flaw from 1998 to 2000. The new band, Five Bolt Main, signed with Rock Ridge Records and released two albums before disbanding. He now has a solo album set for release in the fall of 2007. Five. ...

Lance Arny began playing guitar for a band called "Nail Gun Strategy" in Louisville after Flaw broke up but has now rejoined Flaw. “Louisville” redirects here. ...
