HARD ROCK BAND THAT BLENDS HEAVY BRITISH AND SOUTHERN ROCK styleS. TOUR DATES INCLUDE GIGS WITH AC/DC, DERRINGER, PAT TRAVERS BAND...AND WERE CONSIDERED AS
AVALANCHE is defined by Webster's as: "an unstoppable natural force"...and this all-original rock band certainly seems to fit that definition...overcoming the odds to produce some of the very best original hard rock anywhere! With an unorthodox strategy for success in 1978 (which included 18 months of intense rehearsals, their own record label, $75,000.00 worth of state-of-the-art stage gear, and a record on over a dozen New England radio stations for three months...all before ever playing a live gig) AVALANCHE's debut show was attended by over 3500 people..and the band was immediately playing to sold-out shows and standing room only crowds wherever they appeared. Within a month after their first gig, AVALANCHE was headlining in large club venues, and shortly after that, the band was opening tour dates and sharing concert stages on AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" tour, as well as with DERRINGER, and THE PAT TRAVERS BAND. They were also considered as a tour opener for TOTO's First U.S. Tour. A tight and well rehearsed rock-n-roll machine...this band did whatever was necessary to bring studio-quality hard rock to the live-concert stage...and they did it without the support of a major record label. Now recording again, with all the surviving members of the original lineup...here is the first new AVALANCHE music in over twenty years...as well as some of their old music too, (most of the recordings have never been available before). AVALANCHE continues to defy the odds with their staying power and persistence...and by remaining "unstoppable"...they are here NOW....for you to sample and enjoy!

Story behind the song
"THIS AIN'T LOVE" Music and Lyrics by: Mark Easton. Arranged by: Mark Easton and Michael Foster Recording Produced and Mixed by: Michael Foster Recording Engineered by: Mark Easton. Copyright 2008 by Crystal Magic Music Publishing (ASCAP) Recorded in July, 2007 at ROUGH CUT STUDIO...Eastford, Conn. Mixed in March, 2008 at GOLDEN SUN STUDIO...North Palm Beach, Fl. Mastered in April, 2010 at THE STUDIO...Canberra, Australia by: David Pendragon Mark Easton: Electric Guitar (Pan Right), All Vocals. Michael Foster: Electric Guitars (Pan Left) All Guitar Solos. Barry Easton: Drums. Michael Corsini: Bass. This just one of those tunes that came together very quickly. Mark walked into the Recording Studio during the Spring 2007 AVALANCHE Sessions with this one almost in this final form. We worked out some arrangement details...rehearsed and recorded this one...all in a couple of days time. Although I originally wasn't overly enthusiastic about this track...I have found that it has really grown on me over time...and that it reflects a lot of the elements that best define us as a band. This one has a lot of Mark Easton's songwriting stamp on it...especially in the lyrics and vocals (which are all Mark). Maybe it was because Mark sang all the vocals, but for some reason, Mark wanted me to handle all of the guitar solos on this one...so I got to have some fun with this song as a guitarist, and hopefully you guys will like the end result of this collaboration that has been at the heart of Avalanche since the band formed in 1977. Thanks for listening! Hugs...Mike (NAV)
Lyrics
VERSE 1 You...treat me like a child...it's like I'm on trial... When you play these games with me.... I...don't know how to take the threat... Don't know where to place my bet... I think I'm gonna lose...eventually. BRIDGE I'm...up against the wall Thought I had it all Honey now I know...NOTHING'S free. CHORUS Love.....(This ain't love)....This ain't love to me (Repeat three times) This ain't love...this ain't love* (2nd and 3rd CHORUS)* Honey...this ain't love...this ain't love to me. VERSE 2 I...try to run but there's no place to hide Your door is always open wide... Calling me to come..."come inside" REPEAT BRIDGE REPEAT FULL CHORUS* GUITAR SOLO REPEAT FULL CHORUS* END
