Rock band Avenue of the Giants is helping the genre make a comeback by meticulously combining their love of 90’s arena rock backed by three part harmonies reminiscent of Led Zepplin, Foo Fighters, and a touch of Queen with their debut album Just Between Us, out today!
The band paired with Diffuser in late August to unveil their single “Burn.” Today, the band is excited to release the music video exclusively with Bloody-Disgusting. Vocalist Devon Lewow describes the lead single as, “lyrically about literally wanting to watch the memory of an ex-love burn away in therapeutic fashion… “You cut a striking silhouette; it’s something so hard to forget”… It’s also about overcoming that same pain/obstacle with the mantra “the impossible IS possible if we stay in the fight.”

Just Between Us follows their smash single “So You’d Like to Think” which won 2014 Video of The Year at the Georgia Music Awards.
Beginning as a writer duo in 2011 after deriving from previously successful bands, guitarist, Foz Rock (REHAB, hit single “Sittin at a bar/ Bartender song) and vocalist, Paul-Devon LeWow (Lazyeye, signed to Ludacris’ DTP Records) wanted to create a project full of passion and honesty. Before the band was conceived, Foz’s life was spiraling out of control during time with his previous band, REHAB. Thankfully a friend took him to the Redwood Forest in NorCal called Avenue of the Giants. There, Foz had an epiphany, feeling in tune and grateful about life. Thus, naming the band after a once in a lifetime experience that has influenced him from then on. Just Between Us is filled with innuendo’s of this experience, life, and more making this album their most personal to date. Paul-Devon explains how the concept for the new album came about:
“We came up with the name for the album over breakfast on day one. In between bites we basically were saying that we wanted the music written to come through such that it were though the listener was having a “Just Between Us” type moment… That just kind of stuck… Whether it’s the driving anger fueled rage of “Burn,” the honest messaging of “#FTW” or the heartfelt passion of “Innocence” we made it our mission to involve the listener by making them want to involve themselves and their own experiences.”
The album was produced at Treesound Studios by Foz Rock with additional production by Darrick Atwater and Paul-Devon Lewow. The album’s executive producer’s were Foz Rock, Vinny Kumar, and Paul Diaz (owner of Treesound Studios).
Avenue of the Giants will be hitting the road with touring musicians Justin Aldrich (multi-instrumentalist) and Darrick Atwater (drums for performances) at the following dates:
9/20 – TBA – Youngstown, OH
