“Combining a highly imaginative and contemporary feel of modern rock with the driving energy of pop-punk, Every Avenue’s collective sound is a unique blend of The All-American Rejects and Fall Out Boy.” –South Florida Insider
For Marysville, Michigan natives, Every Avenue continues to have an ever-growing schedule and show no signs of slowing down. After a busy fall, touring with All Time Low, Mayday Parade, and The Maine on the “Compromising of Integrity, Morality & Principals for Money Tour,” they have already set the year off right by taking their first leap over seas to play numerous dates in the UK, and charmed hundreds of screaming fans on the “Take Action! Tour” this past spring alongside Cute Is What We Aim For and Breathe Carolina. They’re gearing up for a heated summer, headlining the “Shh..It Happens” Tour and taking no break to conquer the second half of Warped Tour.
The mid-western quintet has managed to keep a positive outlook on the music scene since forming in 2003 with their release of their debut full-length Shh..Just Go With It, which was produced by Zack Odom & Kenneth Mount (Mayday Parade, Cartel). They’ve solidified their status in the music world by employing the services of Keith Lazorchek with Absolute Management, adding them to an impressive roster that already includes All Time Low and Set Your Goals. They will travel the country with the help of booking agents David Galea (Paramore, The Higher) and Jeremy Holgerson (Aiden, Alesana).
"We are really happy with the way the album came out," said guitarist Joshua Randall, "we were able to try a lot of things we always wanted to."
The band recently released two music videos for singles off the new album including, "Where Were You" and "Think Of You Later (Empty Room)." Both videos were featured on mtvU's Freshman 5. They were also in regular rotation at over 15,000 locations like FYE, Hot Topic, Best Buy, and American Eagle. "Think Of You Later (Empty Room)" has enjoyed over 207,000 views on Youtube since its debut in early December.
In an industry that some say has gone bleak and dark in the last year, Every Avenue sheds encouraging light to the scene by keeping fun and enthusiasm in their music, their live show, and most importantly, their attitude. After every set the band plays you will always find the boys talking and interacting with their fans.
When asked about the future and what it means for the band, guitarist Jimmie Deeghan simply says, "We'd rather be touring and playing music than anything else." Fans can expect to see that attitude reflected in every single second of any Every Avenue performance.
Hard times and set backs have done nothing to stop these young pop-rockers from making their dreams come true. Their fun approach to music is fresh and unique, and paired together with a dedicated fan base the band has accomplished so much in such a short period of time.
"Hopes and dreams and memories, you can't take away from me," David Strauchman, lead vocalist.
