AVALON DRIVE ARMY
Avalon Drive released their brand new single 'Make Your Move' nationally on May 21 2007… this single is just a taste of the debut album that's to come!
2006 was undoubtedly a big year for Brisbane rockers, Avalon Drive, who toured the country several times over with The Veronicas, INXS, All American Rejects, Yellowcard, Houston Calls and Matchbook Romance, and that's not to mention three of their own headlining tours, a performance on Rove Live and the release of the band's second EP 'The City Of Burnt Out Lights'.
Move to 2007, and things haven't slowed down for the five-piece having started the year Playnig with Hoobastank and joined “Fall out Boy” on their Australian Tour. With their new single 'Make Your Move' at radio nationally now and released commercially as a digital single on May 21, 2007 singer Damion Page is citing the track as "a very small taste of what is to come."
'Make Your Move' is "an energetic rock song full of mood lifting spirit," says Drummer Shane Holmes who notes the latest [March 2007] arena shows with Fall Out Boy as the highlight of his musical career to date. "Musically it's a bit of a journey," adds Damion. "Lyrically it's about decision-making, it is about change and procrastination."
'Make Your Move' was produced by Melbourne producer, Forrester Savell, best known for his production on The Butterfly Effect's 'Imago' (ARIA 2), Human Nature's 'Reach Out' and 'Dancing In The Streets' (both ARIA 1), Karnivool's 'Themata”. "We all have very different ideas when it comes to writing so working with Forester really helped bring all that together," Said Damion.
Forming in 2005 under the guise of Avalon Drive - Damion Page (vocals), Wil Morris (guitar/backing vocals), Ryan Kennedy (bass), Shane Holmes (drums) and BJ Dillewaard (keyboards) - the band released their debut self-titled EP independently which spawned two singles including 'This Simple Life' and fan favorite 'Outside Alone', receiving high rotation on both Channel V and Nova FM.
In 2006, the band's rise was immanent when they released follow up EP 'The City Of Burnt Out Lights' which again spawned two singles including radio favorite, 'Get Up' which the band went on to perform nationally as Rove Live's house band and guest performance on Toasted TV both on Network Ten.
As we approach the end of 2007 there has been no rest for the boys as they have been tucked away writing for their highly anticipated debut album. “We don’t care how long this process takes” says vocalist Damion Page. “We are all very different and all want individual things inside our music so putting a time limit on that is not something we are wanting to do. We have had to get over some pretty huge obstacles this year and the future is looking so good for us. So, until then”.
