As an era of girl-fronted bands begins to rise, one band stands out among the rest. The name is Aria - a 5-piece rock outfit that formed in July of 2009. With members hailing from two neighboring countries, the youngest being only 16-years-old, this young band has what it takes to make their mark in a continent saturated with other unsigned, struggling bands. In addition to their persistence despite the many obstacles a border has created for them, Aria possesses a sound that incorporates strong, poppy vocal melodies and dance-y drum beats all the while fusing them harmoniously with edgy, intricate guitar leads and driving rhythms. It is these strengths, combined with figurative lyrics and Guitarist Anthony Todorov's knack for programming that make Aria a dynamic group. Their versatile sound influenced by bands from all over the musical spectrum of genres makes them appeal to a variety of audiences, but still makes them easily identifiable. With the support of Leakmob Records, this group has the building blocks to make them a success. Having just released their self-titled EP recorded and produced by Mike Hatalak, (former guitarist of It Dies Today), the future looks promising for Aria as they passionately fight to make their dreams a reality. Vocalist Bianca Dyrland is evidence of this, relocating 2000 miles from her hometown of Saskatoon, solely to pursue such dreams. Based between the Canadian city (and native home to Alexisonfire) of Saint Catharines and Cute Is What We Aim For's hometown of Buffalo, New York, this band is definitely one to watch for as their fan base continues to grow.
