I Am the Avalanche is an indie rock/post-hardcore band from Brooklyn, New York. The group was formed by vocalist Vinnie Caruana after the break-up of his previous band The Movielife.
The other members of I Am the Avalanche are drummer Brett "Ratt" Romnes, guitarists Michael Ireland and Brandon Swanson and bassist Kellen Robson. Aside from handling vocal duties Caruana also plays guitar on certain songs such as "This Is Dungeon Music" giving the band a three-guitar attack. This is in line with the band's heavier, slower sound compared to the members' previous efforts.
The group's name comes from a lyric written by Caruana for a song which was later discarded. The phrase also appears in the poem "Oh, Immobility, Death's Vast Associate" by Stephen Dobyns however Caruana maintains that this is a coincidence and he was not aware of the poem until after naming the band.
I Am the Avalanche released their self-titled debut album, produced by Barrett Jones, on Drive-Thru Records on September 27 2005, exactly two years to the day since The Movielife broke up.
I Am the Avalanche is hard at work on their next CD, which will probably include some of the songs they have been debuting on tour, like "Polar Beast", "NYC" and "Petey Boi".
IATA have played the Vans' Warped Tour, and have also toured with Bayside, The Sleeping, No Use For A Name, Halifax, The Fully Down, Senses Fail, The Forecast and many others.
