Avalon Drive release their brand new single
'Make Your Move' nationally on May 21 2007 the single that's 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 with their new single 'Make Your
Move' at radio nationally now and released commercially as a digital single on
May 21, 2007 with lead singer Damion Page citing the track as "a very small taste
of what is to come."
'Make Your Move' is "an
energetic rock song full of melodic hooks and 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. "Musically it's a bit of a journey," adds
Damion. "Lyrically it's about decision-making, it is about change."
'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', and many
more. Going in to the studio, "we all had 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 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.
