Let’s start with the basics… Langdon Dearborn (guitar, vocals), Will Chant (guitar, vocals), Iman Behshid (bass), and Aram Behshid (drums) met in High School. After getting together and jam in 2018, they formed indie-rock band Rose Avenue. Heavily inspired by the post-punk indie-rock sounds of the early 2000s, Hippo Campus, The Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club, Interpol, The Killers, Wallows and The Strokes are their main influences.

Writing, producing, recording and mastering all of their music independently, the quartet is currently recording their upcoming EP. The follow-up to their debut album This Game We Play will feature recent single Head In The Clouds. Also included: their new track Age Old Drink. A dynamic song with easy-going parts alternated by full-on upbeat segments, where drums, bass and guitar provide a four-to-the-floor backdrop to the poetic lyrics. Talking of which: it’s a driving, eruptive account of someone questioning their partner’s honesty.
