BEAT THE SCENE: AVALON’S WHISPER.

Post-Hardcore quintet from Kajang who just love to put great sounds together-ranging Pop-punk to Metalcore into a nice piece of music arrangement was interviewed by Joe The Boss; and they shared a few interesting things about them with us. Cccccheck it out.

Joe: For those who have yet to check you guys out tell us about yourself and Avalon's Whisper.
AW: We are a post-hardcore quintet which was founded in Kajang back in
2005 by a bunch of so-called 'baju-ketat-rambut-pacak-belakang-emo-looking-kids' who wanted to play some music with aggresive movements and showmanship as the additional expression. so far we have done 2 releases, and now we're working on our debut album which was scheduled to be released by next year, but there will be a single taken from the upcoming album to be released by December or earlier than that. and now we are also looking for a good record label to help us out in keeping this band managed better than how it does today.

Joe: Do you have any songs that tend to get the best crowd
AW:That would be "My Confessions and The Truth" for sure. the song was pretty much a great success to us. we only released 2 songs in 2007 and one of it had strongly given a wide oppurtunity for us to get ourselves more involve in the music scene. the good responds went rapidly better and better with more show invitations until early 2009.

Joe: What us the best advice you can give someone about making it in a band?
AW: A good question! We'd love to tell everyone out there who's planning to start a band, there are a few matters you need to clearly know and realize; your aim and goal-either you're doing it for fun as a hobby or getting serious with it because later on there'll be so much stuffs you need to take care of, your MONEY, your commitment and stuffs like that. and one more thing, keep the passion alive and always enjoy and have fun with what you're doing no matter how much it costs! if not you'll find what you've done after all the money and time you have spent turn out to be boring hahah!

Joe: What are some things you have with you at all times when gigging?
AW: plain water! it keeps us in high amount of energy so that we can entertain the kids to the maximum level haha. what else.. towels, combs and deodorants!-yeah another thingy that helps us maintain our chick magnet level!-naah just kidding:) we're not that hot hahahah.. Well yea those are pretty necessary to us.and just to let you know, we don't bring our girlfriends to our shows because it's the time for us to hang out with friends! some of us did brought our girlfriend but it turned out to be bad! you know most girls cant stand with loud sounds and sweaty guys hahahah..too bad!

Joe: What show stands out to you as your best show and what show do you think was your worst so far?
AW: To us, United Front record's Bridging Oceans 3 which was held back in 2007 would be the best show for us. Well it's not about how big the show was, or how many crowd attended to the show. but the main thing that made it best in our eyes is that, the show was a big step for us as a band, and the show itself represented the acceptance by the Kuala Lumpur music scene to our existence. by that show we started to play more hardcore shows. hahah well to us there are always disadvantages to a show, wether it's a good or bad one. we try our best to treat every single show equal and we appreciate every single invitation that we had. and the most important thing is, we had reached so much great experiences from
every single show we went through. but there was a show where i (mimin) broke my left knee and that sucked the most to me! hahahahah!!

Joe: Who came up with the band name and what does it mean to you guys?
AW: It's our ex-guitarist, Ridt who's now playing for The Padangs- the person who came out with the name. well to be honest we don't even know or remember anything to do with the name! but maybe someday we should give ridt a call and ask himself how did he get the name what inspired him the most in getting it hahahahahh! but the current definition of the name to us is the shelter where we put our hope on; the friendship force that we belive in; and the reason we are here, the floor where we're standing up on.

Joe: What can we expect to see from you guys in the near future?
AW: a new album with a bit of pretty new sounds, more mature songs arrangements, new kids by some line-up changes! - with enhanced showmanship. that's what we promise you guys!

Joe: Any last words for the people reading this?
AW:
to all the people who has been supporting us, or who has just started to get to know us.. get yourself ready for our new single and upcoming album.. we won't dissapoint you! And thanks a lot for the faith you guys put on us! and for those who haven't heard about us, go check us out on MySpace. We also would love to thank Mr.Joe for offering us this sweet interview. And Minal Aidin wal- Faizin Salam Lebaran to all muslims who's reading this! take care of yourself!
