Victim of Modern Age

Victim of Modern Age was originally from Lake Charles, LA and later relocated to Lafayette, LA. Their technical compositions tend to be illuminated by glowing stage performances. Minimal but precise vocals surgically emphasize, while sudden stops and changes might deregulate heart palpitations. Their music has been compared to that of fellow bands Shellac, Braid, The Rapture, No Knife, Unwound and others. Victim of Modern Age has been adopted by the ever-growing indie rock category, but their music is of independent expression and also draws from other musical stylings, including some massive jazz roots.

Channels Like Capillaries was the band's Sophomore release on Universal Warning Records. The record was the culmination of years of practice/writing and almost a year in the studio. During their 2003 recording sessions, the band worked closely with long time friend and talented engineer, Ivan Klisanin to make Channels Like Capillaries the next shocking chapter in Victim of Modern Age's Diaries. The album includes piano interlude and creatively layered vocals that spans the spectrum of musical expression. Despite intense production, "Channels" is an exposÈ of honest rock, intraveneously shared between VOMA members and listeners.

Victim of Modern Age has performed with Benton Falls, Hey Mercedes, Liars Academy, Avec, We are Childhood Equals, Mae, Bright and Hollow Sky, Red Animal War, Jet By Day, Snakes and Music, Twothirtyeight, The Movie Life, Brand New, The North Atlantic, Brandston and many others.

Features members from Ponder, Claymore, & One Common Voice.

Press Quotes: "The year may be young, but this is one of the best rock records Iíve come across so far." David Lichius, "Playback," St Louis, Missouri

"It's a searing, edgy and furious 10-cut disc, fuelled by the whipsmart lyrics, shifting rhythmic lines and fiery melodies." Mark R. Bacon, KRVS Radio, Lafayette, Louisiana

"A searing document of intricate angst comparable to a more aggressive Shellac. This 10-cut disc is fuelled by the tension and passion of emo, but not constrained by it." DS, Winnipeg Sun, Winnipeg, Canada

"This album has a fresh sound complete with melodic guitar intros, as in Merry Miller. The haunting piano-accompanied track Gnat Hand and the catchy Sleep Stop Seep are our favorites." Pulse Weekly, Philadelphia, Pensylvania

"Best enjoyed on a drive from a city to a small town. The title track from the album, Channels like Capillaries, which I believe is a song about the art of creation and living for your art, will move you. I can't help but rock out and shout along. 'with the words that you choose...'" Michael Otley, Owner, PopFaction Records, Richmond, VA

"a 40 minute album of intelligent and explosive indie rock. The entire record is packed with moments of quiet, lullful guitar, ripped in half by a post-hardcore drive and crunch." Feast of Fear and Hate Magazine

"a wonderful mix of hauntingly beautiful and well-executed instrumentation, frenetic rock parts, pop guitars, and solid vocals." Lindsay Jones, WRBB Boston, CMJ Top 200
