ACUMEN NATION
Brothers Jason Novak and Ethan Novak started Acumen Nation while they were students at DePaul University in 1988. Between them they had strong talent on vocals, guitar, bass, and drums, and a desire to express their unique musical talent through techno-like, guitar-driven rock. Joining them was Gregory Lope (bass, drums, and backing vocals). Unable to invent a name that reflected their style and didn't sound stupid, they chose the name "Acumen" from a thesaurus: it means understanding. About the same time, a bluegrass band in Ohio also decided this was a good name. The two bands tangled for over two years and spent months in a lawsuit before the trio decided to change their name by adding the word "Nation." Acumen Nation ultimately became a better choice.

MOON 17
