Avalon Drive has no doubt made their impact on the
Australian Music scene since their debut self-titled EP release in
2005.
"Avalon Drive are arguably Brisbane's Next Big Thing in
the commercial arena. This group command some serious attention!
They give a performance as if this were their last show ever," said
Time Off.
"The most promising rock act on the Australian scene"
wrote Beat Magazine.
Brisbane band Avalon Drive's Damion Page
(vocals), Wil Morris (guitar/backing vocals), Ryan Kennedy (bass),
Shane 'Holmesy' Holmes (drums) and BJ Dillewaard (keyboards) were
mates all through school, played in various bands over the last
four years and finally came together in early 2005 under the guise
of Avalon Drive.
Since then Avalon Drive has built an
impressive fan base, and playing high energy live shows and
festivals carving their place in the Australian rock scene.
In
March 2006, Avalon Drive were invited to join US rockers,
Yellowcard, on
their Australian tour playing their first ever performance in
Sydney at Luna Park's Big Top to a sold out crowd of 3000 people.
The response to Avalon Drive so crazy that the band had to cut
short their set halfway through their second song due to the crowd
barrier breaking also forcing Houston Calls to cancel their set at
the show.
Yellowcard frontman, Ryan Key had to appear on
stage to calm the crowd down telling fans that "you rocked out so
hard for the opening band you broke the barrier". The response so
crazy that the band were immediately offered the Australian support
for US band, Houston Calls for their headline show two nights later
at the Gaelic Club in Sydney.
Avalon Drive has also been
invited to play as support act to international artists including
Anberlin (USA),
Crowned King
(Canada), Rufio (USA) and
Matchbook Romance (USA). In August 2006
the band will tour nationally with
The Veronicas (AUS) for thirteen arena
shows;
The All American Rejects (US) for
four shows nationally and one show with
INXS (AUS) at Brisbane's Riverstage.
We love to
play live I think the five of us were born to play our music loud
and to hundreds of people. The shows are crazy, there is never a
moment where any of us stand still", incentive enough from BJ, the
man on the keys. "Bring your mum, she'll love us" jokes frontman
Damion.
In August 2005, the band released their first EP with
bonus DVD through independent label Valet Records, selling
thousands of copies around the country.
The debut single, This
Simple Life, with the accompanying live video received wide
recognition from the media, the internet and music television. The
band's highly anticipated second single, Outside Alone, received
high rotation on Channel V, Rage and the Nova FM network nationally
whilst also featuring on the soundtracks to numerous surfing and
dirt bike DVD's.
The band takes influence from rock and roll,
but emphasize the value of good songwriting. It has been a long
time coming for a melodically driven alternative sound to come out
of Brisbane. The wait for a band that is as good live as in the
studio and on the record is over. Now there is Avalon Drive.
The boys have most recently been in the studio recording their
highly anticipated second EP. "This is the record I've always
wanted to write…all the hard work was worthwhile" says bassman,
Ryan Kennedy. When asked what can be expected from the new album
vocalist Damion Page said "it's definitely a new found energy for
Avalon Drive, its a whole lotta rock yet melodic as well".
Avalon Drive's new EP is in stores now. New single 'Pictures'
to radio August 7.
