They say:
“Formed in 2003 by five high school friends, Gilbert, AZ’s Lydia quickly set to make a dent in the local scene with their poetic and tender take on indie rock. Similar in sound to South Dakota’s the Spill Canvas, and often incorporating eloquent male/female vocal harmonies, the band comprised Leighton Antelman (guitar/vocals), Maria Sais de Sicilia (vocals/keyboards), Steven McGraw (guitar/organ), Loren Brinton (drums), and Evan Arambul (bass). Lydia first got noticed outside their hometown in the summer of 2004 when they won a national contest put on by Atticus, the music- and skate-oriented clothing company founded by members of blink-182.”

We say:
Lydia recently released their newest album ‘Run Wild,’ their most impressive to date, bringing their unique blend of chilled out indie rock, with a little angstiness behind it. The band just got off a full scale US tour with PVRIS, CRUISR, Beach Weather, and Polyenso. They now set their way back to Arizona with a few more headlining shows and more new music to come soon…
