Avosetta

Latest to push the boundaries of the alternative/post-hardcore scene to new, more melodic heights are the intensely progressive Norwich outfit Avosetta. Blending influences from such heavyweights as Alexisonfire, Thrice and Finch, the Norfolk five-piece successfully combines driving riffs, soaring, catchy vocals and a brutal rhythm section, producing a refreshingly original assault! The band, consisting of Sam (vocals), Jack (guitar), Ben (guitar), Will (drums) and Jay (Bass/vocals), are all seasoned and accomplished live performers...
