The Avenues are a five-piece from Hull consisting of Tom Foston (vocals/rhythm guitar), Ollie Brown (lead guitar/backing vocals), Joe Galloway (bass/backing vocals), and Kurt Jackson (drums/percussion/backing vocals).
In 2018, Tom and Joe met through a singer asking local musicians to start a band. After discovering he was stealing their money, the boys kicked the singer out of the band and recruited school friends Ollie and Kurt to complete the lineup.

Let’s check what they have been up to:
Part of the Problem
Thunderous drumming and garage backing vocals set fire to this Interpol meets The Walkmen anthem. Tackling the discourse apathy via Ollie Brown’s scorched earth guitar solo will take this band places!
Another Movie
If Interpol made a Bruce Springsteen record, this would surely be it. Jagged licks and dreams of escape unite in this tale of self-doubt and hope.
Brown’s chiming licks are the perfect backdrop to Foston’s Jon Windle (Little Man Tate) via Paul Banks (Interpol) snarl. Together, they chart a tumultuous coming-of-age story which climaxes in Brown’s gunshot firing solo!
