Via Audio

Via Audio has some decent sized names in indie music in their corner. Chris Walla from Death Cab For Cutie stumbled across their MySpace site and ended up writing about his "new favorite band" in Under The Radar magazine. Then, after a band member, Jessica Martins, slipped a copy of their EP to Jim Eno from Spoon at one of their shows in Boston, Eno ended up liking it so much that he invited the band down to Austin this past summer to produce their new record, Say Something. You've heard the term "pop gems"? Yeah, the is one of those bands that epitomizes that term. Four-part harmonies...yum! Via Audio's MySpace.

Via Audio - Modern Day Saint

"There are three distinct songwriting personalities in the initial songwriting stages. Vocalist Jessica Martins brings a cast of frustrated lovers to the table. Bassist David Lizmi takes a more cryptic route, creating story songs that are missing just enough puzzle pieces to make them mysterious, yet decipherable upon repeated listens. While Dies' guitar technique echoes craftier players such as the Edge, Summers and Howe, his songwriting reflects his love of morose 90s grunge. If a character in a Via Audio song exhibits a Layne Staley moment, Dies is probably responsible." - jezebel music
