Via Audio

by Kenyon Hopkin
Harmony-rich indie pop quartet Via Audio -- drummer Danny Molad, vocalist/guitarist Jessica Martins, guitarist Tom Deis, and bassist David Lizmi -- met each other in 2003 while at college in Boston. Within a year, the New York City-area band was hitting the stage while completing an EP. Via Audio experienced a false start on the recording of a full-length, but with a turn of luck, Jim Eno of Spoon liked what he heard and offered to produce in Austin, TX. The band eventually signed on with the SideCho label, which issued Say Something in September 2007.
