Damon
The love of my life Sarah. She's my inspiration for songwriting, my moods, well being, etc. I love you! Other inspirations in my life are God; Family, who are the biggest supporters in my musical dreams; Friends, who I wouldn't trade for anything; and Weather. Some bands that inspire me are: Bayside, Avenged Sevenfold, Thrice, The Ataris, Muse, Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory, Jimmy Eat World, Relient K, Green Day, Blink-182, The Used, Underoath, and much, much, MUCH more!
Quin
First, and foremost, my family. I wouldn't be anywhere or anyone without their leadership. I can't express enough appreciation to my true friends, the ones that are always by my side. I listen to TONS of music, but a few drummers that have really influenced my style include Jason Costa (All That Remains), Travis Barker (Blink-182), Jimmy Owen Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold), Floyd "Bud" Gaugh (Sublime & Long Beach Dub Allstars), Phil Collins, Brad Wilk (Rage Against The Machine), Brandon Barnes (Rise Against), Chad Sexton (311), and Josh Wills (Story Of The Year).
Kelby
First of all, I'll have to say my bro, because he is awesome. Many bands also inspire me; a few of these are Jimmy Eat World, Bayside, Relient K, New Found Glory, MUSE, Green Day, Blink-182, Weezer, Band of Horses, and occasionally Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Temple Pilots, and The Matches.
Preston
First and formost I'd have to say God, Family and my friends, they have all made me a better person in everywhich way. I also would have to say all the come and gone girlfriends throughout my life (positive and negative) to help inspire my music and my writings. As far as bands (in no particular order)... A Day To Remember, Blink 182, New Found Glory, Hit The Lights, 311, Story of The Year, Bullet for my Valentine, Jimmy Eat World, Relient K, Rufio, Goldfinger,
Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, All That Remains, Midtown, Fall Out Boy (before they were sell outs), Mest, Hollywood Undead, 3Oh!3, Led Zepplin, Metallica, Eagles, Eric Clapton and i could go on but we'll keep it at that.

The Champion Theory started with humble beginnings. In the heart of North Ogden, Damon, Quin, and Kelby got together and wrote some music. They found Trevor to jam with them for a while, but he's moved on to bigger and better things. Preston sought them out on myspace, showing an interest in the music. After weeks of waiting, he was chosen to fill the guitarist spot that Trevor left behind. Now, they're straying away from the typical scene to create a unique sound that's a combination of metal / hard rock / power pop punk. They have lots of big plans for the near and distant future, including their Debut EP, "Losing is your ONLY Option", which was released on August 21, 2009, merch designing and production at this very moment, and a probable west coast tour in the summer of 2010.
Hi! Thanks for being our friend! It would mean a lot if you'd check out our songs and leave us a comment. If we're doing our job you might even get a smile out of it. Comment how you feel!
Also, if you're in the Salt Lake City area let me know, we are trying to build a really strong local fanbase and always looking for people to jam with! Get with us early and we'll hook you up when we're huge...which will probably be in a week or two.
