Mike Viola is, simply put, the sun in the solar system of indie melodic pop right now. From The Candy Butchers, The Nines, L.E.O., The Major Labels, Rachel Yamagata, and Best Coast to his Oscar nominated work composing music for the films "That Thing You Do!," "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story," and last year’s "Get Him To The Greek," Mike Viola is making thoughtful expressive pop music for our generation.
