Avail
Avail says they are the best thing to come out of Richmond, Virginia. Who's to doubt them? It's not like the south is a hotbed for punk rock bands, but this 5 piece could change all that. Not locked into the "1-2-3-4" school of punk, members Tim Berry (vocals), Joe Banks (guitar), Ed (drums), Gwomper (bass) and cheerleader/vocalist Beau Beau pull in outside influences ranging from metal to progressive, and serve it up in short, swift blows to the ear that bode well for future. A young band already with a slew of releases to their credit, their 2000 release, One Wrench, on Fat Wreck, should command a new level of respect for Richmond's finest. |
