Following lead singer Vinnie Caruana’s previous band, The Movielife, splitting, I am the Avalanche filled a massive gap in the gruff-pop-punk sort’ve genre. Since the release of latest record “Wolverines” the band are still growing at an exponential rate.
Their live show manages the raw intensity on their records. Towing a line between melodically heavy and catchy, huge singalongs are present for each track - especially those from the universally loved record “Avalanche United”. As Caruana jumps around the stage - and often, the crowd itself, the energy in the room is paramount, backed up by particularly strong guitar work. The crowd is moving and flowing, screaming their lungs out with smiles plastered on. The smiles are partly down to the funny banter provided in song breaks. Tracks like “Brooklyn Dodgers” and “Green Eyes” get gigantic reactions. Those kind of anthemic songs garner massive singalongs everywhere from basement venues to arenas supporting bands as big as Brand New. I Am the Avalanche are definitely crowd pleasers. Setlists are divided between all three of the band’s records nicely, allowing some older fan-favourites to be aired. I Am the Avalanche are a band whose performances are always heartfelt. You can tell that they love it; and so does the crowd.
