VIA AUDIO - Say Something (Side Cho)

Myspace gets a lot of stick but if it wasn't for the social networking site I would never have heard this band; I received a friend request from them a couple of years ago and was pleasantly surprised that they were pretty good rather than the usual dirge that would normally greet my ears. Via Audio have produced a really solid debut record here that reminds me of many great bands over the course of the eleven songs on offer here. From joyous boy/girl harmonies like Mates of State, through eerie Cursive-esque ballads and even Weezer style scuzzy rock, this is a criminally under-rated release and is deserving of your time for sure.
