VIZA (rock band)

Their website defines VIZA as “a passport into a musical endeavor that touches its conspirators, cultural, spiritual, and literal influences, while translating them into a perfect balance of old world nostalgia, modern experimentation and social revival.”

Our translation: damn good music!

If you haven’t already heard of the rock band VIZA, you’re in for a real treat. Comprised of a bevy of talented multi-national band members, many of whom are of Armenian descent, they bring a fresh new experience to today’s “been there, done that” rock music scene.

Don’t believe us? Check out this awesome video for their wickedly beautiful song “Breakout the Violins”, directed by Tadeh Daschi.

Now, that’s good stuff!

Wanna see and hear more? Here’s their latest release “Trans-Siberian Standoff”…

Do you believe us now?

While there’s no doubt that their music is strong enough to stand on its own, it doesn’t hurt that the band is managed by Serjical Strike, the company that’s run by System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian.
