The Accident Experiment

The Accident Experiment, also known as AeX, is a rock band based in San Diego, California. It was formed in 2002 when co-founder Curiel left the band P.O.D.

The band featured Curiel on guitar, Pete Stewart (Grammatrain) with the vocals, Tony Delocht on bass, and Ernie Longoria on drums (both from Sprung Monkey).

The band's first EP, Arena EP, was released in 2003. In 2005, the band signed to indie label Rock Ridge Music, and their first full-length album, United We Fear, was released October 18, 2005. A video had been shot and released for the first single Sick Love Letter.

Curiel and Longoria began jamming and they solidly evolved into a steady rock act opening to Foo Fighters, Drowning Pool, Staind, and other known bands.

In December 2006, Curiel re-joined P.O.D. and The Accident Experiment went on hiatus. Their Arena EP was re-released by Rock Ridge Music on May 8, 2007. The EP included some new songs by the group.
