Template:New unreviewed article
Language Room is an American indie/alternative rock band based in Austin, TX. Its members are Todd Sapio (lead vocals, guitar), Scott Graham (lead guitar, backup vocals), Matt Graham (bass guitar, backup vocals), and Caleb Kelly (drums). The group is signed to indie label Pazzo Music, on which it released its self-titled album Language Room on August 10, 2010.
History
Sapio and Scott Graham originally met in Los Angeles, CA, where they were each pursuing careers as professional musicians. After little progress and hard luck, both became frustrated with the music scene in LA. Unbeknownst to the other, both Sapio and Graham decided to change directions by relocating to Austin. After a chance encounter during the 2007 South by Southwest conference, the two reunited and began collaborating. Graham then invited his brother Matt to join the group on bass guitar. Shortly before an important gig, the group’s drummer canceled. Caleb Kelly stepped in to cover the performance and subsequently became a permanent member. By September 2007, the current lineup had been completed.[1]
In 2008, the quartet won a local battle of the bands competition and used the money to record and release a three-song E.P. Shortly after its completion, Sapio met Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey in a guitar shop in south Austin. Noveskey, also a producer when not playing with Blue October, liked what he heard and expressed interest in doing a full-length album with Language Room. After successfully scraping together enough loans for the recording sessions, the group released its debut album "One By One" in February 2009. Based on the strength of this album, Language Room signed with both G&G Entertainment and Pazzo Music. [2]
On August 10, 2010, the band released Language Room, its record label debut. The track "In Lines" is the first single off the album.
