Band history

Every Avenue was founded in 2003 in Marysville, Michigan. They changed lead singer early on, and former lead singer James Beesley later became the band's tour manager. He is currently working with former drummer Mike Govaere. The band released two EPs in 2004 and 2006 before signing a deal with Fearless Records in 2007 and releasing an EP that summer that same year. Shortly before the record deal, guitarist Jason Letkiewicz left the band because he received a film design grant. Jimmie Deeghan replaced him and quickly became an important songwriter. In February 2008, Every Avenue released their first full-length album entitled "Shh. Just Go With It", which reached number 27 on the US Billboard Heatseekers chart. In January 2008 they supported Boys Like Girls as the support act in the UK alongside Metro Station. Then they started their national tour with bands like Hit the Lights, Farewell, Mayday Parade, All Time Low and The Maine. They toured with Valencia from Philadelphia during the summer and were also on the Vans Warped Tour 2008. In November of that year, Every Avenue released their new video for the song "Think of You Later (Empty Room)". On April 11, 2009 it was announced that the band was in the studio and recording their second album with producer Mitch Allan and Mike Green. A few days later, on April 14th, Govaere announced that he was leaving the band in order to move forward with his studio (Downbear Studio). The current album "Picture Perfect" was released on November 3rd, 2009. On April 27, 2010 the album "Punk Goes Classic Rock" (from the Punk Goes ... series) was released, on which an interpretation of the song Take Me Home Tonight (originally by Eddie Money ) by Every Avenue together with Juliet Simms (Automatic Loveletter) was. Every Avenue has been confirmed to play on the 2010 Alternative Press Tour. They will also play at the Slam Dunk Festival in the UK.

"Where Were You?" not only was Yahoo! Radio and AOL Radio, but was also played on MTV's "Real World / Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet" and reached more than 150,000 downloads on Mark Hoppus' "Hi My Name Is Mark" blog on iTunes. "One More Song" was played on MTV's "The Real World: Hollywood" (in the episode "Mexi-Loco") and on MTV's "The Island". The song "Picture Perfect" was played in a photo montage as part of CBS at the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship on April 6, 2010.
