Do it up, we're always on.
Influences: We are influenced by the world around us. We try to stay as up to date on politics and the media as much as possible to make us more intelligent than we are. Collectively, we listen to artists ranging from Bury Your Dead to Sunny Day Real Estate to Streetlight Manifesto to Fall Out Boy to Kanye West to Rise Against to LoveHateHero to Chuck Berry to Four Year Strong to As I Lay Dying. What we're trying to say is that we try to open our minds to all forms of music, and we take bits and pieces of everything we hear and put it in to our writing process.
Our lyrics are very cynical and sarcastic. Our aim is to bring music back to the way it used to be, fun and enjoyable. Music has become so theurapeutical and we believe it should be recreational. Yeah, your girlfriend broke your heart, but listening to your favorite sing about it won't make it better. Our lyrics are taken from those experiences but instead of, "You broke my heart, I hate you." we're trying, "You broke my heart, but I'm better than the grief, and I'm going to stand up and continue on with life."
Sounds Like: We got bored with hearing and making the same old generic pop music. Since each one of us have come from a different musical backround (Brian-indie/hiphop, Dave- screamo, Ken- pop rock, and Kevin- ska), we decided to write music that comes from a multitude of genres. We believe in making music we love, not music thats trendy. With a unique sound and a lively stage experience, A is for Avenue is sure to please every listener, regardless of your musical preference.
