Bio

Atom and Megan of Avro

Avro

A Denman Island British Columbia electronic pop group, Avro is a writing duo composed of Adam ‘Atom’ Percy and Megan Rose. 

Influenced by synthpop, classic new wave / cold wave, minimal techno, and with a pinch of post punk, Avro first released their first EP ‘Anatomy Act’ in 2016, followed by a full length album ‘Futuretroactivism’ in June 2022, and have a new EP in production for release in spring 2024.  

The first single from Futuretroactivism titled ‘Promise Notes’ was released with a video that has garnered thousands of plays across social media, and charted across Canadian college radio.  

Promise Notes was also bolstered with dance and cinematic remixes by electronic artists Quick Kick and Snoog, and the track ‘Cobalt Dreams’ received remix love by electronic beatmaster Righteous Racket, accompanied with a dreamy neon remix video. 

After dates like The Woodstove Festival in Cumberland BC, Winter Arts Fest in Vancouver, Rogue Festival on the BC Sunshine Coast, and a spring 2023 tour across Ontario and Quebec promoting Futuretroactivism, Avro has crafted an energetic stage show that has kept audiences moving to their tight darker rhythms and hypnotic vocals. 

Avro is currently locked into their secret island studio base and mixing their next as yet untitled EP for release in early 2024.

Album details

In 2022, Avro returned with a new album, titled ‘Futuretroactivism’, released June 16th, 2022, along with an advance release of the first single and video for the track ‘Promise Notes’.  

The product of over a year of writing in studio, ‘Futuretroactivism’ bristles with powerful synthesized tones, galloping rhythms, and ethereal vocals.  Lyrically Avro merges myth and fantasy with the dystopian dream of the not too distant future, seamlessly combining dancefloor ecstasy with thoughtful introspections.  

While giving nods towards earlier synth artists like Fad Gadget, Yaz, and early Human League, the use of more modern production notes, original hooks, and vocal interplay between the duo makes Avro a unique outfit in the world of electronic music.
