ABOUT AVALANCHE:
Avalanche is a 4 piece hard rock band from Western Sydney, Australia playing short, fast & loud, no-bull Aussie rock 'n roll for a new generation and attracting massive attention on a global scale.
The band formed in an old steel factory in 2018 where they used to rehearse. They’ve since made a name for themselves as part of the vanguard of new Australian rock, with their tenacious work ethic, frenzied touring schedule, and a raucous, high-energy live shows, which routinely leave their audiences covered in blood, sweat, and beers.
They’ve supported major US bands Buckcherry, Fozzy, and The Iron Maidens at sold-out shows, as well as Australian legends, Palace Of The King, Kingswood, Dead City Ruins, The Southern River Band, Child & The Poor, and have dates with Rose Tattoo coming up in 2024. The band have set their sights overseas, having headlined their first international tour and rock festival; ROCKTOBER FEST in Nouméa, New Caledonia in October 2022 to some of their most riotous crowds yet and touring Japan in March 2024, with more overseas tours in the works...
Avalanche are the winners of Passport To Airlie 2023, Australia's largest live original band competition at Airlie Beach Festival of Music where they shared the stage with Ian Moss, Freznal Rhomb, Dragon, The Superjesus, Ross Wilson , and more, and as a result, they will be returning in 2024 Nov 7-10 with a headlining slot,
Since then, they've joined the country's foremost booking agency, Premier Artists, part of the Mushroom Group, as their exclusive booking agent for Australia, joining the ranks of Australia’s highest profile artists (Airbourne, The Angels, The Screaming Jets, Jimmy Barnes...) as well as a management deal with Big Apachee that already sees the band transcending to new heights.
Avalanche continues to play to packed audiences with rave reviews and sold-out shows at some of Australia's most iconic venues including festivals. Over the years, the band became mainstays at Sydney’s most loved heavy music venue; Frankie’s Pizza By The Slice, playing their infamous birthday bash on the venue’s 8th birthday and recording the music video for 'Bottle Of Sin' there just before the venue was demolished for a train station. Always showing no signs of slowing down, they've gone from major support slot to festival slots, even undertaking a month-long residency at Sydney's best alternative music pub The Duke Of Enmore, and playing at halftime at Pro Wrestling Australia's sold-out show at Liberty Hall.
Known for their high production music videos, the band has worked with HAUS Party [The Amity Affliction, Peking Duk, Guy Sebastion, North Lane] on their first music video, and 5 videos later, they've amassed a couple hundred thousand views on YouTube & social media, similar figures on Spotify, and a few thousand CD's sold worldwide.

The track is a cover of the hit song by 1970s cult Aussie pub rock legends Avalanche, the band’s namesake of which their very own frontman Steven Campbell’s dad, Adrian Campbell fronted. Their last single ‘Bottle Of Sin’, described as the perfect party anthem for your next night of bad decisions was also released to widespread acclaim, hitting over 40k streams on Spotify within a few weeks with now over 70k.

Avalanche is made up of the husband-and-wife duo of lead vocalist & bassist Steven Campbell; a red-haired, sheer force of nature with powerful paint-stripping vocals unlike any other who always puts his blood and his guts into every show, and wife Veronica ‘V’ Campbell; a tall, dark and aggressively powerful lead guitarist; a mass of shaggy black hair in a bra and ripped jeans, with a Gibson SG constantly by her side. She is bound by neither space nor convention, often playing her blistering guitar solos in the crowd, on the bar, and sometimes even out the doors and in the toilets.
Then, we have the incredibly skilled and tightest drummer you'll ever hear, and the youngest member of the band; Ryan Roma aka ‘ADHD’ on drums, and rhythm machine and absolute life of the party (seriously, be prepared) Arthur Divis aka 'the new guy' (not really) on rhythm guitar.
Avalanche are waving the flag for Aussie Rock, giving no f****s, and winning over new fans every time they play.
