Artist History
Since forming in 2002, AF has developed a steady local following, playing their brand of catchy rock and roll. They have played all over the tri-state area, including some of the best venues that support unsigned bands. Their music combines old and new rock sounds with unforgettable lyrics; a winning combination. With undeniably in your face music and catchy lyrics their songs share stories of family problems, relationships and the language we all understand, LIFE! Avenue F recorded their self-titled 10 track CD at a small hole-in-the-wall 8-track studio in their hometown of Bayonne. Although they recorded each of the songs live without the benefits of a truly professional studio in only 1 to 2 takes, the CD struck a chord with their fans and thus exposing the band to the public and helping AF gain a faithful following. Their latest effort, “Tales From The Garage”, showcases a tighter, more confident band. These are songs that anyone can identify with; from the Upbeat “Social Outcast” and “Sucks To Be You” to the hard-hitting “Three Times Over” and “S.U.M.”. They even recorded a cover of the mega-hit “I Got You” from 80’s sensation, Split Enz. Their music has something for everyone to enjoy. You can currently find their new release for sale at CDBaby.com, local music stores and many download sites such as MySpace.com, Digstation.com and soon, iTunes. This is only the beginning! The boys have much bigger plans. The boys have also gotten many great reviews from various music sites dedicated to unsigned acts. Not to mention that their following is growing rapidly due to myspace.com. They are bombarded with CD requests all the time and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. And, as we speak, the band is in pre-production for their third CD, scheduled to be released in the Summer of 2008.The bottom line is; Avenue F will undoubtedly leave their mark on the music world; somehow, someway. Such big dreams for a small town band, but once you listen, you’ll see why.Avenue F is :Jack Kemple: VocalsVinnie Valdes: BassMike Betkowski: DrumsMike Marino: Guitar For more information or to book Avenue F, contact: Mike Marino, (201) 780-3202 or email at avenuefmusic@aol.com.

 "Tales from the Garage" by Avenue F is a hard-hitting rock album that fuses classic and modern rock styles and sounds. The album definitely has a garage band, yet professional feel to it, both in the production and in composition. The band is tight, featuring nice changes and a powerful sound with strong vocals. Most of the tracks are in your face rock tunes. Highlights are the opener "Social Outcast," a thick, thumping track track with solid riffs and rebellious vocals Their cover of the Split Enz "I Got You" is a cool take on a classic, taking it to a darker place. If you like Foo Fighters, you will dig this CD. -William and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer TeamCheck out Avenue F's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites |
