Four lads, passionate hearts and free expression make what Cardinal Avenue is now. Having started in late 2006, these young lads hope to entice the innocent ear to the melodic happiness and serene mayhem that CA generates through sweat on guitar strings.
The quartet that make up CA are Prahlad (Vocals and Guitars), John (Drums), Faris (Guitars) and Brice (Bass). CA creates a myriad of sound that goes from happy indie pop rock to a heavy palm-muted in-your-face wall of sound. CA tries their best not to limit their sound to just the social conformity but are constantly looking around for new sounds and ideas.
CA write mostly about the society, love, taking-it-easy, and human emotions that somehow tickle the minds of CA. Staying true to themselves they constantly write with free expression.
Playing numerous gigs has made CA a much experienced band now. CA has made it a point in their hearts to make people leave their shows feeling euphoric, in awe and yearning to watch another one.
CA is now expecting an EP to be out late August 2008 and has never been as elated as before. This EP hopes to be the ticket to CA’s dreams and goals. Playing Baybeats in 2008, CA has seen change in themselves and wishes to change the world.
It’s going to be one hell of a ride on the Cardinal Avenue experience – the rest, is simply up to you.

Dear friends,
Just to tell you guys a little more about my upcoming EP, I know it has
been delayed several times but I hope it'll be worth the wait haha!
Anyways, the date has been finalized so grab your presale tickets by clicking the picture above ASAP
because they are selling fast! This EP was 7 months in the making and
we put a lot of heart, soul, and effort into it and I hope you guys
like it. It means a lot as a musician to finally put out something for
the public to listen to and whether you hate it or not, I do hope you
appreciate our efforts!
For
those of you outside of Singapore, hang on tight! We are working out an
international shipping system so you guys can get yourselves a copy!
The EP will also be out on iTunes shortly after the EP launch!

Hi friends! I have a new song up on my myspace called Letting Go. It was recorded at home that's why it doesn't sound as good as Bittersweet. But do give it a listen and let me know what you think! Feedback on how I can improve my recordings and song writing will be greatly appreciated :D
