AVAIL

AVAIL

I must’ve seen Avail more times than I can remember. I put them up there with Fugazi and Shelter, a band I’ve seen over 20 times. Avail was originally from Reston Va and actually had a different singer. The band had relocated to Richmond Va and their drummer Tim Barry took over for vocal duties. Smart move too, they blew up and became one of the bigger bands to emerge from VA. The last time I think I saw Avail perform was either a show at Twisters in Richmond Va or with Into Another at the Insect Club near Va Beach. I picked up these reissues on EBay for under 7 bucks each. Really cheap considering each album is 2 lps. These were the reissues that No Idea did for Jade Tree. I also picked up their first record for 6 bucks. I know it was reissued on cd but I am not sure if they reissued the vinyl. Anyone remember that crappy demo they had with the Chinese symbol on it?
