Athory is an American rock band originally formed in Arlington, Texas in 2006 by John-Marc Stanley. With Stanley on vocals, and guitar, he met with friends and fellow musicians Nathan Bacon (later to be on bass), and Aaron 'AC' Capers (later to be on drums) about joining the project he was working on. After a short period of discussion, and agreement from Jeff 'Jeffy' Meaningless (later to be on lead guitar) to join as well, they started making music in the fall of 2008 in the Youth Building of a Church in west Arlington, TX. Their current lineup does not include a drummer, however, Tray Greer is the band's current bassist.

Authory is a band based on the idea that a person, or group of people, that don't need the approval of the world to be established and accomplished musicians. It is based on that idea that they hope to inspire their listeners to aspire to whatever their dreams hold for them. In this ideology, their lyrics attempt to produce positive imagery, or express emotion in a psychologically healthy manner, and promote the expression of others' emotions in a similar fashion. By utilizing a method of changing styles within the rock genre and meshing Rhythm and Lead Guitar parts to contrast vocals and harmonies encompassing all aspects of the music, they hope to achieve not only a pleasing sound, but also a pleasing effect on the emotional state of the listener.

Authory is currently in the process of writing their first full length album to be recorded by the end of Spring 2010. They currently have no professional record contracts, however, they are being produced by News Team Assemble's Stephen Stanley, and managed by Authory's own John-Marc Stanley.
