Avenue Beat
Brash. Bright. Fresh. Wildly melodic. Avenue Beat are three girls from Quincy, Illinois who grew up ingesting social media platforms, theater groups and hanging out with older kids β and turned into the notes of a chord that lands somewhere between Taylor Swift ascending and Billie Eilish at her most real. The genzennial collective of Sami Bearden, Savana Santos and Sam Backoff are strong, smart, fun β in love with life, each other and getting on with it β the 21-year-old besties capture the fresh face of new feminism, while blowing off being told who girls are supposed to be. Avenue Beatβs debut self-titled EP is available now via The Valory Music Co./Tape Room Records, which was co-produced by lead singer Savana, David Garcia and Ashley Gorley. With the stretched staccato vowels of the hilarious self-empowering βDelight,β the sisters-sticking-together euphoria of βBe A Bro,β angst-rejecting post-break-up βRuin That For Meβ or their self-induced euphoria of βBroke,β Avenue Beat beckons listeners with pillows of narcotic harmony and glistening melody β only to sucker punch them with lyrical truths that cut right to the gut.
