Bio
In the fall of 2008, a group was formed that would challenge the average listener to rethink their idea of what a "rock band" can be. What started off as a furious sessions of "Rock Band" and rants against the current state of popular music, quickly blossomed into an epiphany. Instead of just talking about the lack of variety society is presented with musically, four brothers collectively made it their mission to write universal music without the frills. Thus THE AVANTIST was created. With an energetic and soulful singer in eldest sibling Fernando, and the steady slow rolling groove of bassist (and second oldest) Erick, the chemistry and "hive mind mentality" could only be accomplished with the other two brothers. Their guitarist David usually takes up the role of two different guitars and creates a complex sound with his dynamic playing. Luis, their youngest, has a hard-hitting drumming style that is heavily influenced in vein of Jon Theodore or Thomas Pridgen. Their raw musicality and endless passion (not to mention the electricity of their live shows) gives them a truly unique, yet, epic sound. Their various influences (from The Mars Volta to The Kings of Leon to Deftones and beyond) helped create "Through The Building of Another Window", their debut EP that is equal parts personal, aggressive and at times, haunting. They worked with sound engineer and producer Yuki Tasaka who recorded their debut EP at Electrical Audio in Chicago, Illinois. For this EP, Yuki had the four record all five tracks live to recreate the energy of their live shows in their studio work. Their first single "What They Say" was recently released. Its accompanying video, directed by Desiree Anne Diaz Agngarayngay, provides the audience with a visual performance that the band is noted for.
