The first song I’ve heard from Avions (France) was Fields Of Gold. It’s one of those songs that ignites the jolt of excitement that fuels the flame underneath this website. Fields Of Gold sounds a bit like Marked Men’s take on the melodic punkrock sound of bands like Down By Law, All and Big Drill Car. It’s one of the many highlights on Avion’s new self-titled record, which is out now through Howlin’ Banana Records, Teenage Hate and Hell Vice I Vicious.
Avions show they are not an one-trick pony on the diverse set of songs that make up Avions. They channel the above influences, but also the indie rock of Pavement and the powerpop of Fountains of Wayne and Teenage Fanclub. Needles to say, there is a lot of melody in these 11 tracks and the subtle vocals with super sweet harmonies makes my brain tickle time and time again.
