The Avisi / Press

“The Avisi, the commercial rock/pop band has hit the studio hard to record their EP, 'Life Through Abstract Eyes', which has gained them airplay on BBC Radio, Nation Radio and local radio stations in their native Cities of Swansea and Cardiff. In addition the band have joined forces with world renowned director Jason Figgis to record a music video for the song 'Alternative Love Song', which features british actors such as Eoin Macken('Merlin', 'Centurion'),Camille Donegan ('Savage', 'The Clinic') and Emmett J. Scanlan ('Hollyoaks'. 'Blood', '3Crosses'). With the band's stardom rising due to frequent touring and airplay seeping into other areas of the UK, the band started to become a modest success.”

“If anyone thought mainstream Indie Rock went out of style, apparently they failed to hear 'The Avisi', the South Wales quartet who has taken Wales by storm with the omnipresent anthem, "Alternative Love Song". Although it may have seemed that 'The Avisi' was an overnight success, nothing could be further from the truth. The band, fronted by singer Carl Ward and his close friend Gavin Powell on guitar, started as a cover band in Swansea, Wales. By 2009, the band decided that it was time to begin using their own material; with modern influences such as 'The Killers', 'Kasabian', and 'The Enemy'. Once the thought was in motion, the band recruited fellow members, Nikki Hicks on bass guitar and Gavin's younger brother Lee Powell on drums and percussion. Watch this space”
