Viva Voce may still be newbies in everyone's hearts but they've actually been making music for over a decade.
For those who came late to the game, their critically acclaimed (and long out of print) second and third albums Lovers, Lead The Way! (originally released in 2003) and The Heat Can Melt Your Brain (originally released in 2004) are going to be reissued as one along with bonus tracks on the band's own Amore!Phonics label on Nov. 13. The bonus material is said to consist of live performances, remixes, previously unreleased tracks, and original demos.
