BIO Since forming in 2003, Marysville, MI's Every Avenue has honed their skill for creating infectious, melodic pop rock tunes, and in doing so has made a niche of their own. New album Picture Perfect is the perfect example of a band not willing to rely on gimmicks to stand out, but instead set themselves apart with a determination to simply make a great album, and tour it relentlessly. Co-produced by Mitch Allan (Jonas Brothers, Faith Hill) and Mike Green (Paramore, Breathe Carolina, Set Your Goals), the 11 euphoric tracks on Picture Perfect mark a new era for the band, who has taken a step into more mature territory with huge sweeping songs, while still keeping their feet firmly grounded in the youthful pop rock gems their fans have grown to love. The follow-up to their 2008 hit album Shh...Just Go With It, Picture Perfect debuted at #1 on the New Alternative Artist chart, #2 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart. New Single ‘Tell Me I’m A Wreck’ is a sassy sing-a-long that has fast become a live favorite with fans. The stunning video for the track has been resonating with fans worldwide since it’s premiere on MTV2 in mid-August, and features interviews with the bands family, friends and loved ones. The video was Kerrang! TV’s Video of the Week after release, and has since recieved play on MTV Rocks, MTVU, Scuzz TV and Lava TV. Signing to Fearless Records in 2007, Every Avenue has had their music featured on MTV’s Real World, and won MTVU’s Freshman 5. The band has toured internationally with Boys Like Girls, Metro Station, All Time Low, Mayday Parade and The Maine as well as appearing on Vans Warped Tour and Bamboozle Festivals. The band was one of Alternative Press’ main 100 Bands Your Need To Know 2010, appearing on the cover of the April issue. The band had a successful run on the sold out Alternative Press Spring Tour with Never Shout Never and completed their first headling tours in both the UK and the US. The band follows up their headling tour and dates on Shop Till You Rock Tour presented by Demi Lovato, with a slot on theinaugural Fearless Friends Tour with Mayday Parade, Breathe Carolina, Artist Vs Poet and Go Radio this October/November
