NEW ALBUM 'TELEVISION YOUTH' OUT JANUARY 2012

SONIC AVENUES are four Montreal kids who started riffing punk tunes in 2006. After getting swept up in the booming punk epicentre of neighbouring Ottawa they've been catapulted into the ranks of the best pop-punk acts in Canada. In late 2009, SA dropped a bomb with their debut LP on Ottawa's infamous Going Gaga Records. Within a few short months, the record had sold-out twice, including a European repress released by Germany’s fine TAKEN BY SURPRISE and SABOTAGE RECORDS.

Two years later, after obliterating eardrums from stages across North America and Europe, they returned to their hometown to record a crushing follow-up, TELEVISION YOUTH, for prestigious Portland-based label DIRTNAP RECORDS, as well as old friends TAKEN BY SURPRISE and SABOTAGE RECORDS in Europe. Featuring more of the overdriven guitars, infectious harmonized melodies and blazing 2-3 minute songs that powered their debut, SA have nonetheless pushed the limits into new territories with this latest offering. In short, Television Youth is punkier, poppier, louder and dirtier than anything they've done before. Armed with this devastating new arsenal, and ambitious touring plans spanning the (un)civilized world, SONIC AVENUES are sure to keep fists in the air and beers a-flyin' for years to come.
