Avalanche Revamps “Down Under” with Hard-Hitting Rock Twist
After taking Japan by storm on their third headline overseas tour, husband-and-wife fronted rock powerhouse Avalanche has returned to Australia, ready to unleash their latest release. The Sydney-based band, known for their electrifying performances and relentless touring schedule, is set to introduce global audiences to their newest track—a high-octane rock ‘n’ roll makeover of the Men At Work classic Down Under.
The song, a staple of Australian music, has been reimagined with Avalanche’s signature hard-hitting, fuel-injected rock edge, forming the lead single of their upcoming EP Land Down Under—a collection that pays homage to Australia’s rich musical legacy. The band dives into Aussie pub classics, offering their take on legendary tracks from AC/DC, The Angels, and Rose Tattoo, celebrating the sounds that shaped their musical roots.
Land Down Under: A Tribute to Aussie Rock Icons
More than just a release, Land Down Under is a love letter to Australia’s music and culture, forged from the band’s upbringing and deep appreciation for homegrown rock legends. The four-track EP sees Avalanche breathing new life into timeless anthems, including a blistering live rendition of Let There Be Rock, recorded at their biggest show yet with over 3,000 fans.
Among the standout tracks, the band offers a modern twist on Nice Boys Don’t Play Rock ‘N’ Roll—rebranded as Nice Girls Don’t Play Rock ‘N’ Roll, a fitting tribute to their lead guitarist Veronica. Avalanche’s rendition of Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again—previously performed in front of The Angels’ Brewster brothers—further cements their connection to Australian rock royalty.
Fresh off their tour with Rose Tattoo, the EP doesn’t just revisit classics—it redefines them, presenting Avalanche’s raw energy to a new generation of rock fans.
East Coast Tour: Avalanche Hits the Road
To celebrate their latest release, Avalanche is set to embark on a 15-date East Coast tour, bringing their explosive live shows to favorite haunts and new territories alike. With a reputation for delivering electrifying performances, the band aims to showcase what has captivated audiences around the world—giving Australian fans a taste of what’s to come on their highly anticipated debut album.
With Land Down Under, Avalanche is bridging generations, reintroducing the songs of classic rock to fresh ears with their unique, high-energy interpretation. As they proudly declare—"I come from a land down under!"—this release proves that rock ‘n’ roll is very much alive.
Fans can catch the band live on tour, with Land Down Under available from May 15 before they set off for their next international adventure.
