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

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

The band's first [[Extended play|EP]], ''[[Arena(EP)|Arena]]'', 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. There has been talk of the band getting back in the studio sometime in 09.
