Biography

Dark Avenue is a modern, hard rock/alternative metal band hailing from Dallas, Texas. Powerful melodic vocals, tight pounding rhythms, solid thick guitar work, and ethereal electronics make a mystical combination and it’s no surprise Dark Avenue has risen as a top tier emerging artist. Launching in 2014, they have played on stage with Queensryche, Pop Evil, Red Sun Rising, Drowning Pool, Stryper, and Powerman 5000. They headlined the AXIS Entertainment Stage during Rocklahoma 2018, and were named a Top 4 performance in the company of A-List artists Godsmack, A Perfect Circle and Machine Gun Kelly. With all 5 members as contributing writers, every song takes on a life of its own, as Barry, Jeff, Alan, Andrew and Mario all have diverse musical influences and it is never the same when their creations come to sonic life. 2016 saw Dark Avenue as winners of Krave Radio’s Annual Music Awards Artist Of The Year and 2016 Video Of The Year. “The sound that Dark Avenue creates is sweet to the ears of any fan of rock/metal looking for something fresh and new” says JoJo Keys, Steemit and from Mark Bryson, The Hook “Their music is often described as an uncontrollable flame and I'd have to agree.” As they gear up for the release of their third album, Reality, singles “The Light” and “Don’t Hold On” are already making waves in the industry. Both singles were mixed by Toby Wright (Metallica, Alice in Chains, KoRn, Sevendust). *www.antiheromagazine.com/best-of-rocklahoma-2018
