Audrye Sessions are a rock band from Oakland, CA, whose style of music is often likened to British bands such as Muse, Coldplay, and Oasis. Comprised of Ryan Karazija (vocals, guitar), Michael Knox (lead guitar), Anton Patzner (violin, keyboards), Alicia Marie Campbell (bass), and Alex Feldman (drums), the band was founded in 2002 by Karazija and Campbell, who were romantically linked at the time. Audrye Sessions made their full-length recording debut in 2007 with Braille, an independent release that led to a major-label recording contract with the RCA Records subsidiary Black Seal the following year.
