1) Lydia is a two-piece (formerly six) indie rock group from Gilbert, Arizona.
Lydia started out in 2003 as a five piece band: Leighton Antelman (Lead Vocals and Guitar), Steve McGraw (Guitar), Maria Sais De Sicilia (Backup vocals and Keyboard), Dustin Forsgren (Bass), and Loren Brinton (Drums). Their debut album, This December; It's One More and I'm Free was released on September 27th, 2005 with the HourZero Records.
Their sophomore album, Illuminate, featured a new line-up: Evan Aranbul replaced Forsgren, Mindy White replaced Sais De Sicilia, and Craig Taylor replaced Brinton; a second guitarist, Ethan Koozer, was also added. Illuminate garnered extremely positive reviews and gained the band increased recognition. They toured extensively throughout the country and participated in the Zumiez Couch Tour, Vans Warped Tour, and The Bamboozle festival. They also played on the first annual Bamboozle Roadshow in 2008. In 2009, the band released an acoustic EP of 4 re-recorded songs off of "This December" titled Hotel Sessions.
Their final release, 7 track EP "Assailants", came out in 2010. Lead vocalist Leighton Antelman embarked on a solo project with an album planned for 2011, due to be produced by Matt Malpass. He has also stated that drummer Craig Taylor will continue to work with him. Mindy White formed States with Bryan & Stephen Laurenson of Copeland. Ethan Koozer is currently playing guitar for the New Jersey-based band Gates which contains former members of Bears & Bright Lights. Steve McGraw has formed a new band called The Saturn Hands.
In late May of 2011 Leighton announced that Lydia would put out a new record to be produced by Matt Malpass. Leighton hasn't announced a release date but he acknowledged that it should be expected in mid to late fall of 2011. Leighton and Matt also collaborated on their own project named The Cinema. Leighton tracked and recorded the album throughout June and July and will be mastered by Matt after. They will be producing this album on their own similarly to Assailants.

Lydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A song she can move to
Yeah isn't that what you do?
Come on, I know you
So I give it up
I give it once up
Shake her hips 'round
Yeah, we're all gone
Just call my name
If I don't say what you're thinking
'Cause we got one more season
Well I'm a criminal at best
The best you will find
So come on make your move
I got the whole night
I got to give it up
I got to be honest
Surely one more drink
Yeah, that should solve it
Just call my name
If I don't say what you're thinking
'Cause we got one more season
So I guess I'll be the one to say
I'm the one to blame
You know I got a point, babe
Don't look at me that way
Yeah I thought about it all day
But only in the worst ways
So tell me where they at now
And if, and if you sleep well
The song "Seasons" by Lydia is a reflective and introspective piece that contemplates the passage of time and the experiences that come with it. The lyrics speak to the desire to live in the moment and not waste any time. The song opens with a call for music that will make the listener want to move. The singer then offers to provide that music and proceeds to shake their hips as they all get lost in the moment. The chorus reminds the listener to reach out and communicate if there is anything they want to say. The song then takes a turn as the singer admits to their flaws and encourages their partner to make a move while there's still time. The final verses express regret and doubt about the choices made and questions whether they will ever find peace.

I truly felt they bent music to their will with Illuminate, magnified a strong sequence of emotions, it was beautifully painful, this new cd is good, sure, great even, but that's still settling for me, and the difference between hearing the band fragmented, and hearing them when they were whole, matters to me, Lydia cannot survive at this rate, and to see such a rare host of artists, and melodies disperse, makes me want to protest! so damn me for saying that!

I agree Mindy gave it an atmosphere and although she's gone Leighton has still kept it close to an original "Lydia" vibe w/the latest offerings.
