Via - Via

Via was a late 1980s post-punk band formed in Boston by Thalia Zedek (Come, Uzi) and Jerry di Rienzo (Cell, Nuclear Theater), with James Apt (Six Finger Satellite), Adam Gaynor (Nuclear Theater) and Phil Milstein. A true indie rock legend, the band recorded a handful of songs and performed two breakout shows before disbanding, with the band members each going their own ways, with Zedek and diRienzo forming the legendary Come and Cell. This archival project features a newly discovered collection of six songs, recorded in a basement studio in 1987. The band's only recorded production, listening to it is like opening a time capsule, fresh songs from indie rock legends just beginning to discover themselves. Liner notes by Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine), who says: “The music sounds a bit like Sonic Youth, but the songs were much more raw, primal, bubbling, coiled – inexorable. I still can't get over it. »
