Since their last release - the single "Innocence" - the Swedish trio has evolved into a duo with founding members Anders Karlsson and Mikael Ekelund still present. Their newest achievement is a single entitled "The Strip" and it contains two tracks of retroistic electropop á la early New Wave.

In the words of the band themselves: "The Strip' is about being on your way to, or from, something important. It is a road with two lanes. One of them you own - it is your choice, your lane. It fills you up. It makes you strong. Invincible. The other lane is the path you want to avoid, but you know is there waiting for you."

AYRIA's 3rd album "Hearts For Bullets" brings 12 hard hitting, tightly written and well produced tracks which still each manage to present a new style and side to the evolving AYRIA sound. "Hearts For Bullets" was produced in Canada by none other than Sebastian R. Komor (ICON OF COIL, ZOMBIE GIRL, BRUDERSCHAFT, etc.) who has added a lot of depth to this release and a polished sound.

AYRIA hits straight and hard with her sonic approach hanging between minimal electro and forceful EBM while never straying from the extremely feminine image of the project. Extravagant, provocative, bitchy and edgy, She finds her target somewhere between NITZER EBB, M.I.A., MISS KITTIN and LADYTRON.

By teaming up again with producer Len Lemeire (32CRASH, ANNE CLARK, IMPLANT, UNTER NULL, etc.) for the recording of their 2nd album, PSY'AVIAH again brilliantly scored a top 20 entry in BBC's "The Next Big Thing" contest with their collaboration with poet Suzi Q.
