His recent albums have garnered a whole new fan base and sold out shows around the US.Rock Of Boston was recorded over the winter of 2023 on ¢" tape at Barebones, Viola's home studio in Los Angeles. Once again joined by his friends Jake Sinclair on bass and Brendon Urie on drums. Viola says, "I'm always writing songs, or pieces of songs, or ris. My writing process changes every song, so I never get trapped in a method. I let the song lead me. While I was on a world tour playing guitar for Panic at The Disco, I wrote the bulk of this record on the bus between soundcheck and showtime. On the days o, I'd nd a recording studio wherever we were and I'd book studio time to sneak away to lay down a few ideas. When the tour nished, Jake and Brendon came home to LA and we never stopped playing music together. We just switched from touring with Panic! to recording Rock Of Boston pretty seamlessly without a break. Maybe that's why the ris seem bigger on this record, we had spent all those months in hockey arenas around the world playing big music.
