Audra is an Arizona-based band formed in 1991 in Mesa, Arizona by brothers Bret and Bart Helm. Audra broke out onto the national scene in 2000 when they signed with indie label, Projekt Records. After two well-received albums and well-over 300 live performances, the band decided to leave Projekt and go back to the ‘do-it-yourself’ approach that started their career in the 90s.

The band gained the attention of Davey Havok, lead singer of AFI, who chose Audra’s 2002 album Going To The Theatre as one of his top 10 CDs of the year. The next year, AP Magazine selected Audra as one of the top ten bands on the scene. 11 songs from their first two albums were featured throughout three seasons of MTV’s The Real World and several independent films.

On May 19, 2009, Audra released 'Everything Changes,' their first album in 7 years. It was recorded in Tempe, AZ at Uranus Recording (owned by Robin Wilson, lead singer of Gin Blossoms, and produced by Robb Vallier (Dave Stewart, Paul McCartney, Wailing Souls, Peter Murphy, R. Kelly).

At the end of 2009, Audra was added to a couple of dates on the Nitzer Ebb tour and performed a sold out show with AFI on January 30, 2010.
