Influenced by synthpop, classic new wave / cold wave, minimal techno, and with a pinch of post punk, Avro released their first EP “Anatomy Act” in 2016, followed by a full length album “Futuretroactivism” in June 2022, and have just released their new album "Psychopathé" on their Warranty:Void Records imprint.
After the release of Futureretroactivism, Avro went from a duo to the solo project of musician and producer Adam Percy, a shift which ultimately stripped the project down to its core.
Rooted in synth pop, dark wave, and post-punk, the album opens with the sinister instrumental “Commencement”. From the armchair paranoia of “Insomaniac”, the neon-soaked detachment of “Blue Light, Hot Dreams”, the title track’s cold introspection, the hollow idealism of “Perfect World”, to the lost highway love affair of in “Liars in Love”, Psychopathé feels less like commentary and more like diagnosis.
Since their first album release, Avro has been a regular at BC festival dates such as Sunk City in Nanaimo BC, The Woodstove Festival in Cumberland BC, Winter Arts Fest in Vancouver, and Rogue Festival on the BC Sunshine Coast.
Along with their spring 2023 tour across Ontario and Quebec, Avro has shared stages with other electronic and pop artists like Devours, Moonbean, and Drama Queen, crafting an energetic stage show that has kept audiences moving to their tight darker rhythms and hypnotic vocals.
In 2024, Avro also contributed three remixes for several tracks on Bif Naked’s latest release ‘Champion’, gaining airplay on European radio.
