Australian hard rock titans Avalanche are back with their most rebellious, head-turning single yet. Dad, I Joined A Rock N Roll Band is a gritty, blues-infused anthem that captures the spirit of youthful defiance, packed with raw energy and that signature Avalanche punch. This track is an ode to every wild, reckless decision you’ve made—the kind your parents had to hear about later—and it’s an apology wrapped in a wall of sound.
With a relentless twin guitar assault, a pounding rhythm section, and Steven Campbell’s signature gritty vocals channelling the rebellious spirit of a thousand frustrated teenagers, this track grabs you from the very first chord and refuses to let go. It’s a non-stop, full-throttle rocker, bursting with the unapologetic energy that has defined Avalanche since they first burst out of a Sydney steel factory in 2018. You’ll be headbanging so hard you might need an ice pack—and your dad might just join you.
In celebration of the new single, the band will be embarking on a two-month tour across Australia, culminating in one of their biggest performances to date. As the winners of Australia’s largest band competition, Passport to Airlie 2023, Avalanche will be making a headline appearance on the main stage at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music this Nov 8-11. They’ll be joining iconic acts such as Rose Tattoo, The Sweet, Jebediah, Thirsty Merc, and Pseudo Echo for an unforgettable weekend of rock ‘n’ roll.
Avalanche is also releasing a single compilation on the same day as the release of Dad, I Joined A Rock N Roll Band, both on CD and digitally. This compilation will feature the new single along with their last three singles, offering fans a collection of the band’s recent hard-hitting tracks in one explosive package.
Since their explosive debut, Avalanche has shared the stage with legends like Buckcherry, Fozzy, The Iron Maidens, Ian Moss, Frenzal Rhomb, Dragon, The Superjesus, Ross Wilson, and more. They’ve made waves internationally with their relentless touring and raw, unfiltered sound. Dad, I Joined A Rock N Roll Band builds on this reputation, fusing bluesy riffs with a rebellious rock ‘n’ roll spirit that speaks to generations.
Avalanche’s journey from steel factory to global stages, including their recent headline tour of Japan, has solidified them as one of Australia’s most electrifying rock acts. Get ready for a wild ride—this is Avalanche at their most defiant, and you’re going to want to turn it up loud.
