New Tunes Coming Soon...
- Apr. 19, '08
After a long, cold Montreal winter of writing new songs and playing the odd show whenever we managed to dig out from under the snow, Sonic Avenues
are happy to announce that spring is in the air, and a follow-up release to the band's debut EP is now in the works! The early tracks recorded in studio
in March are sounding awesome, with more dirt, more loud guitars, and more in-your-face tunes than you can shake a pogo at. Release details are being finalized, so keep your
ear to the ground for more info as it becomes available. In the meantime, you can check out the new material at any of a number of big live shows slated
for the summer months!
