How would you describe yourselves?
We
are a collective of sonic differences that ultimately make up this thing we
like to call Avale :)
Who are your main influences musically?
We
have many influences ranging from different genres but our main influences stem
from bands like Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Tool, and Nirvana.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
We
really just love what we do. We want people to feel the message we convey
through our music and lyrics. Let’s just say that if anything major comes out
of it, we will not turn it down. Above all, we strive for quality in our
arrangements no matter how long it takes the achieve that.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Our
biggest highlight was playing a show with A Loss For Words, My Ticket Home, and
Carousel Kings. It proved to us that we belong and can very well thrive with
the big players in the industry.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
We
want to forget the fact that we lost some really talented band members in the
past due to simple lack of commitment. The vibes we shared was irreplaceable
but you have to move on with a more goal oriented mindset.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Out
of all the songs, the one that best represents us is ‘Safe Tonight”. It shows
our passionate side as well as our aggressive side. It also displays our
success with experimenting new sounds and unconventional vocal melodies.

Anything else you’d like to say about your band/music that I forgot to ask?
Yes we would
like to mention that we have a new EP coming out in a week or so. It will have
some very interesting sounds that our fans (new and old) will absolutely
dig.
