After a stint in Los Angeles, Texas native Todd Sapio relocated to Austin in search of new direction. There, he literally bumped into his old friend Scott Graham on 6th street during the chaos of SXSW, 2007.

After a stint in Los Angeles, Texas native Todd Sapio relocated to Austin in search of new direction. There, he literally bumped into his old friend Scott Graham on 6th street during the chaos of SXSW, 2007. Scott had also just moved to Austin, frustrated by the LA music scene where the two had originally met. So, the West coast refugees began writing together. Conveniently, Scott’s brother also shared a passion for creating music and Matt Graham, a recent transport from Shreveport, Louisiana, was introduced into the band shortly after the first few rehearsals. Two nights before an important gig, the band’s drummer vanished. In desperation, they frantically searched for anyone to cover for the lost appendage and found Caleb Kelly. He did more than just cover for the show - he filled the final void in the band’s lineup. Caleb, who had also moved to Austin to pursue the call of creating music, fell right into place with Todd, Scott and Matt.
Beginning in September of 2007, the newly formed Language Room began playing shows all around Austin and began setting a standard for what a live show should be. After winning a battle of the bands competition, the band immediately hit the studio to record their first E.P. From that session, “Make Me Choose” became the intro song for Livestrong.com and “Don’t Cover Your Eyes” was used in the movie “The Beacon” out of Los Angeles. While debating the next step, Todd ran into Matt Noveskey, bassist for Blue October, at a local music store and mentioned his band. After hearing the E.P. Noveskey jumped on board as producer and in November 2008 Language Room and Noveskey began recording songs for the band’s debut album, One By One. “It’s easy working with great musicians that know what they want,” says Noveskey. “I feel like these guys are my little secret… but not for long.” One By One was released in early 2009, receiving positive press and constantly growing fan support. With honest lyrics and passionate performances Language Room is turning heads and hearts everywhere. « hide |
