“They’re definitely a band from Hull” Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music
“Their thunderous drumming & scorched earth guitars will take this band places…” Travellers Tunes
Following the success of a string of single releases about young adulthood & growing up too fast, which have received support from BBC Introducing’s Jericho Keys, & for singles O.S.T.M. & Haven’t Got A Prayer also BBC 6Music’s Steve Lamacq, the explosive Hull 5-piece indie-rock outfit The Avenues share their highly relatable new single Insomniac – a track about the inability to unplug from the information overload associated with modern life, while not losing touch.
Produced by Embrace keyboardist Mickey Dale at his Bradford based studio The Cellar of Dreams, this guitar led indie gem with its anthemic chorus channels the energy of bands like Interpol, Reverend And The Makers, The Walkmen & alike. Lead vocalist Tom says of the track “Insomniac is exciting to perform live as audiences really pick up on its energy. Lyrically, the track explores the inner conflict between understanding the importance of being politically informed & maintaining your relationships with friends while also recognising the need to escape doom scrolling, social fatigue & burnout at times”.
