Avondale45 at GuilFest
With GuilFest fast approaching we take a look at Avondale45, a hard working and passionate three-piece punk / garage band, based in and around the Portsmouth and Chichester area, who will be gracing the Vive Le Rock stage on Saturday 14th July 2012.
Together Al (vocals and guitar), Joe (drums) and Colin (bass and Vox) have written and recorded "In A Garage", an 11-track no frills album, in an extended/converted garage, in just 36 hours - recorded the way it should be - RAW, DIRTY AND STRIPPED BACK!
This is a no-holds-barred album which recreates the energy of an avondale45 
gig, made to be played beyond loud!
Avondale45 release their new Album "In A Garage" on the back of two highly successful shows in Portsmouth, at what was the controversial Punk By The Sea on Friday and the already legendary Sunday DIY event at the Milton Arms Portsmouth.
With Avondale45 there is the tradition of the Vandals and Stiff Little Fingers but somehow, they're more eccentric and delightful than any of these.
Their roots can be easily identified in old school punk and more recent bands, while carving out their own identity they have managed to create a certain uniqueness to their urban sound, lyrics and gigs.
While Avondale45 can be described as very much within the punk/garage genre, and staying true to their roots, their appeal is much wider, drawing in audiences at gigs other than those who are usually associated with the punk genre.
Avondale45 took to the stage… and launched into a blinding set of a high speed assortment of old skool punk, contemporary new wave and their own material. A three piece… that has developed its own voice… The songs come from the heart and personal experience, it is this mix that gives Avondale45 their rightly deserved place as a new voice on the scene… well worth a listen.
