Details: Via were a late-1980s postpunk 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. The stuff of indie rock legend, the band recorded a handful of songs and played two blistering shows before splintering, the band members going their own ways, with Zedek and diRienzo forming the legendary Come and Cell. This archival project presents a recently-unearthed collection of six songs recorded in a basement studio in 1987. The only recorded output from the band, listening 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 bears some cosmetic resemblances to Sonic Youth, but the songs were way more raw, primal, seething, coiled - inexorable. I still can't get over it."
