With spring 2007 comes the unleashing of Adria’s debut full length The View From Here. Over 6 months in the making, the album builds on everything where the previous effort Concealer left off. The Southern New Hampshire-based trio’s first album is a guns-out frenzy spanning every corner of rock music. From textured ambience and Cobain-esque pop to riffage that recall images of both Sabbath and hardcore, the band has prepared a rock album that ignores convention. Recorded and mixed by Terry Palmer and mastered by Hank Decken at Dizzyland Recording in Rochester, NH during the second half of 2006, TVFH was a painstaking process to write. From the ambient landscape of "Abandon All Notions and Sink Deeper" and "1621" to the layered indie rock of the title track and healthy bombast of punk and hard rock heard in "Jesus Chrysler". Shortly after signing with Red Fez Records in early 2005 came the Concealer CD/ EP on April 26, 2005. Since the release, the band has played countless shows in virtually every club and hole in the wall New England has to offer once, twice, sometimes five times- all the while selling close to 1,000 copies of Concealer largely out of their own trunks and through online sales. |
| Along the way, Adria has managed to share the stage with Paranoid Social Club, The Static Age, Zox, Dropping Dayllight, Dreadnaught, and many more. Although the band has built most of its reputation the old fashioned way through word of mouth, they have managed to recieve airplay on college and commercial radio throughtout the Northeast. Formed in November 2002 in the small New Hampshire college town of New London, Adria's brand of hard as railroad stakes guitar rock meets pop sensibility has matured into a body of work that's hard to staple a label onto, yet wholeheartedly compelling and classic. |
