Attica! Attica! on purevolume™

Folk Rock / Punk

ATTICA! ATTICA! is the music of Aaron Scott, singer of MARATHON and DE LA HOYA. A!A!'s debut full length, "Dead Skin/Dried Blood" was released on Red Leader Records, and is available at Interpunk and Smartpunk, as well as iTunes and eMusic.

Since Marathon's breakup, Aaron has been traveling the country on his own, writing songs on buses and trains, then circling back to the Northeast to record his ideas. With the help of close friend and producer Chris Antal, Aaron committed these songs to tape in Ithaca, NY, over the course of a year. The result is a collection of American music, stolen from the coffers of folk, punk, country, and rock. This is an album of intense beauty, with songs as challenging as they are fascinating. Aaron's unique and versatile voice conducts an orchestra of strings and percussion, intertwining pianos with cellos and guitars with accordions. A pen deft enough for bumpy rides on unknown roads guides his musical machinations, and Aaron incorporates these experiences in a vivid mix of fantasy and reality. His lyrics continually return to matters of motion and action, with a thoughtfulness that can only come from someone with soles as ragged as his. If you like an unpredictable journey, its time to get on board.

Aaron! I just saw you play at the Westcott and let me
tell you- unfucking believable. I had no idea what to
expect and you fulfilled everything that I had hoped
this new project of yours to be for me. Keep making
music and get some recordings because i would support
you fully and buy the album. I almost wanted to give
you a tip when you were done for making my night! I
hope you have a great year! -Nick

Aaron! I was there when Marathon was unheard of, I was
there at so many shows as people began to love you
guys, I was there at the final show singing every word
to every song you wrote. You are an inspiration to me.
I write and perform music now and I would just like you
to know that you may not have been there for me, but
your words have. I live in Syracuse- and there is no
way in hell i am going to miss your show on Jan. 4th!
Hope all is well! -Nick
