I AM THE AVALANCHE

Forming in 2004 and quickly releasing their debut self-titled album in 2005, over the course of the next two years I AM THE AVALANCHE toured the world relentlessly in support of this album, which quickly became a cult favorite among fans and the band’s peers.

I AM THE AVALANCHE through thick and thin.

"This band has a nervous energy, an urgency that each of us feel every second of our lives, and this album captures that. We’re brothers, we’re family. The music we make together binds us together and gets us through all the hard times, together. I feel like all five of us will be able walk with less weight on our shoulders now that we've finished this album after years of writing and recording. And now it’s time to perform these songs everywhere, alongside some of my best friends." – Vinnie Caruana

Featuring 12 anthemic songs and absolutely zero filler, the album includes “Brooklyn Dodgers,” the defiant “Holy Fuck”, the epic and somber “Dead Friends” and “The Gravedigger’s Argument” featuring Anthony Raneri from Bayside. Throughout, Caruana’s distinctive voice drips with defiance, humor and proud vulnerability as he sings about hope, heartbreak, death, defying adversity and the bonds between family, lovers and friends.

And just seconds into first listening to Avalanche United, it’ll be immediately clear that I AM THE AVALANCHE are back with one of punk’s most powerful albums in years, unbroken and unbowed.
