About Via Coma

Via Coma is an American rock band from Lafayette, CA. Formed in 2009, the band currently consists of vocalist/bassist/lyricist Rob Marshall, vocalist/pianist Jesse Kyle, and vocalist/guitarist Nicolas Gracia. The band created a logo to visually represent the name "Via Coma", which means "through endless sleep." It is frequently seen in both their marketing and merchandising, accompanying, or sometimes completely absent of the band's name. The band released their demo, Bridges, physically on March 3, 2009 and digitally on June 29, 2009. The demo saw two pressings and is currently sold out. There are no plans for a third pressing; Bridges is still available through iTunes. In the summer of 2010, Via Coma began writing their first full-length album. The sound of the yet to be released record is a departure as well as an expansion from the sound of Bridges. Over the course of writing and recording, Via Coma developed a knack for song craftsmanship, melody and sonic nuance: qualities you rarely hear in the same package. Via Coma finished recording their debut album in August of 2011. The record was produced by Aaron Lunsford and Cody Bonnette of the band As Cities Burn/Hawkboy, mixed by Ryan John and mastered in February by Mike Kalajian (Moving Mountains, Ace Enders and A Million Different People) at Telegraph Recording. The first single, "Back and Forth" was released digitally on November 11, 2011. The second, "Stitches", was released digitally on February 8, 2012. A remix of "Stitches" by Spacebrother (Jared Piccone of Innerpartysystem) was released digitally on March 6, 2012. "Iron Horse" the third and final single from the album was released digitally on April 4, 2012. The band launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the physical pressing of the album on April 28, 2012, where they also announced the digital release date of their album, entitled, "Figures" is June 12, 2012.
