Founding members Jason Dahlin and Jason Crawford originally crossed paths in an intoxicated verbal altercation that nearly came to a full out knife fight. Both skilled at music but in vastly different ways, they quickly realized that their collaboration was a unique and rewarding experience. Months later they joined forces with Ryan Lewis (Lou) on bass, who fit into the group like a lost puzzle piece. Later came Thomas R. Throssell, who fit the group more like a square peg in a round hole. V.A. is unapologetically raw, playing shows that exhibit uninhibited emotion and power. They embrace a sound that is unique to the local area that has become saturated with cookie-cutter punk and emo bands, and refuse to sacrifice integrity for any reason. Although Victory Automatica has been playing for about a year now, only recently have they found their ideal, preferred sound and are readying for a full out attack with their carefully crafted 3 minute weapons of mass destruction. Beware, Be Armed.
