Self described as sounding like “four friends playing instruments in the same room together at the same time,” it is easy to say that Adelaide band The Aves are fairly laid back. With influences such as the Kinks and The Who the band draw on old school British rock for inspiration.

The band, is made up of Lucy Campbell (vox/rhythm guitar), Florentina Pergoleto (drums), Tom Williams (lead guitar) and Tasman Strachan (bass), and has just finished recording their debut EP Panic with Aria Award winning Producer Lindsay Gravina in Melbourne.

Grow Up – The Aves by showoffservices

“Grow Up” is the first single of the upcoming debut EP from the four-piece and tells the tails of life in suburban no man’s land.
With vocals that are a little Amanda Palmer-esque, that have a conversational quality to them, “Grow Up” is a catchy indie track that could easily find itself implanted in your head for the next hour or so.

While the song is catchy with impressive guitar solos, the band have some work set out for them to set themselves apart from the smorgasbord of young indie Aussie acts that are currently on offer.

Considering the track was written in “about five minutes” the Aves have produced a light-hearted and fun track that is likely to leave a smile on your face.
