Avon Announce New Album "Black On Sunshine" with Official Album Trailer!

Desert rock veterans AVON are set to release their highly anticipated third studio album "Black On Sunshine" on April 17 via Go Down Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has unveiled an official album trailer.

AVON unites an impressive pedigree of desert rock history. On drums, the mighty Alfredo Hernández - known for his work with Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, and Yawning Man - brings his unmistakable groove and desert-born power to the record. Frontman James Childs previously found success with British rock outfit Airbus and collaborated with Geoff Barrow as well as "Philthy Animal" Taylor. His songwriting even earned him an Emmy nomination for the theme to Disney’s worldwide hit cartoon "Kick Buttowski". On bass, Charles Pasarell - deeply rooted in the Palm Springs desert scene - completes the sonic backbone that defines AVON’s sound.

Following the success of "Mad Marco" (2016) and "Dave’s Dungeon" (2018), "Black On Sunshine" showcases AVON’s tight, dynamic songwriting and their ability to merge melodic depth with unrestrained energy. Rooted in the spirit of the Californian desert yet pushing beyond genre boundaries, the album blends psychedelic rock textures, driving grooves, and an unmistakable desert-born energy
