The band was on both the 2005 and 2006 Vans Warped Tours (often on the smaller Ernie Ball Stage). They were also at the 2006 annual music festival held in the Phoenix area, "Edgefest".
The original album "An Offer You Can't Refuse" was composed of all band members except Dan Parker who was added to the line-up. A Change Of Pace also goes by the acronym "ACOP".
On June 1st, 2008, the band revealed on their MySpace blog how original singer, Torry Jasper would be replaced by their good friend Micah Bentley. The change brought about a new sound, as well as a new EP entitled "Just No Better Way." The news comes merely weeks before A Change of Pace heads out on their summer tour.
After delays, the band put forth their final LP in February 22, 2011, entitled "Couldn't Be Worse". It incorporated both of their older and newer sounds. Shortly thereafter, on March 13, it was announced on their Facebook page that after 10 years, they would disband, but not before playing a farewell show on April 22 at The Clubhouse in Tempe, Arizona.
A Change of Pace mixed their own brand of metal, punk and emo.
The band members as of 2011:
Micah Bentley: Vocals
Jonathan Kelly: Drums
Johnny Abdullah: Bass, vocals
Adam Rodgers: Lead guitar
Dan Parker: Guitar

The lyrics of A Change of Pace's song Home Is Where The Heart Is talk about the pain of saying goodbye and leaving behind things we love, but also the determination to find a better place for oneself. The singer tells their loved one to trust their words and believe in what they want, but also acknowledges the difficulty of the situation. The repeated line "I'm ready to go" expresses the singer's readiness to leave everything behind and find a new path.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of leaving things behind and finding a better place, both physically and emotionally. The line "here we go again" suggests that this is not the first time the singer has had to make a difficult choice, and they are now determined to move on. The song ends with a plea to stay with them, even though they are ready to go.
Line by Line Meaning
Say something anything right now
I want you to speak up and express your thoughts or feelings
You know I'm choking on
I am struggling with the situation we are currently in
How bad it hurts
The pain and distress I am feeling
To say goodbye
Leaving and separating from each other brings me emotional pain
Trust in the words I say to you
Believe in the honesty and sincerity of what I'm saying to you
Its killing me to see you desperate
It is extremely difficult for me to witness your feelings of desperation and helplessness
Believe in what you want
Have faith in your own beliefs and desires
Just tell me how long it takes
Please give me a specific time frame
Until I'm in the right place
Until I am in a place where I feel more comfortable and content
Here we go again
We are experiencing a familiar situation or pattern
I'm happier without
I am better off without something or someone in my life
This left behind
The past or anything that we have moved on from
But its all over now
The situation or relationship has come to an end
I'm ready to go
I am prepared for a new beginning or change
Ready to find a way some how
I am motivated to find a solution or a new direction
Ready to leave it all
I am willing to let go of everything from the past
Cry yourself asleep again tonight
Being emotional and upset to the point of tears late at night
Write a note sent with
Leaving a message expressing emotion or goodbye wishes with something being sent
You're love from everyone
The love and support from everyone in our lives
You build me up can't break me down
I am strong enough to withstand negative influences or attempts to bring me down
I'll find a way to leave this town
I have a determined mindset to leave and start anew
And nothing good you'll ever say
Any positive words you may say will not affect my determination to move forward
Will stay with me
I will not let any of your words, good or bad, hold me back
Please stay with me
As we separate, I am asking you to remain close, connected and supportive
All behind
Everything from the past that has held us back
