In the commotion of the ever-changing indie rock scene, tranquil and refreshing ambient sextet Lydia arise poised. Boasting soft male vs. female vocals over a moody, introspective wall of sound led by melodic guitars and keys, this group of high school friends have garnered some serious buzz in the underground with their compelling songs and tender approach. Formed in 2003 in Gilbert, AZ, the band underwent a few shake-ups before settling on its current roster: lead vocalist/ guitarist Leighton Antelman, back up vocalist/ keyboardist Mindy White, guitarists Steve McGraw and Ethan Koozer, bassist Jed Dunning and drummer Craig Taylor. In 2004, Lydia won a contest with Blink-182 owned Atticus Clothing, resulting in their appropriately titled track "Your Taste Is My Attention" being included on the Atticus compilation Drag the Lake, Vol. 3. Their debut album, This December: It's One More and I'm Free was released on HourZero that following year, and Lydia hit the open r oad with notable slots on the Zumiez Couch Tour, Vans Warped Tour and Bamboozle Festival. In Fall ’07, Lydia signed to Indie label Linc Star Records. In March of ’08, they released their sophomore effort, “Illuminate”, to heavy critical acclaim. Look for Lydia on the road in Summer of ’08 in support of “Illuminate”…and see why the album has been considered an early contender for Absolute Punk’s “Album of the Year” (Jason Tate, CEO/Founder Absolute Punk).

"Michelini and friends combine a smorgasbord of horns, strings, quick drum beats and infectious harmonies that will have you bouncing around all day questioning your religious upbringing, head bop by subsequent head bop."- Revolt-Mag
