Rydia were a band out of Valley Cottage, NY, active in the early 2000s. They played the kind of emo pop that skirted the line of pop punk with a dash of midwest emo influence, similar to Derail or Ettison Clio. They must have done some touring despite their apparently brief existence; in the liner notes for their EP, they thank Senses Fail, Armor for Sleep, Fall Out Boy, and Hot Rod Circuit among others, a real who's who of bands in the genre at that time.
Their only official release appears to be the Pictures Left Behind EP, released in 2003. They also put up a handful of songs on Soundclick. Their bio on that site claims that Pictures Left Behind was released on vinyl, but I can't find any evidence of that version. Additionally, I have files for a second EP, also dated to 2003, called Kiss Me, I Dare You. I have no information on this EP at all save for the fact it exists, and don't know if it ever received a physical release, or if it was intended to be a demo.
