Self-described as "feral Garage Rock & Roll from the wild North Yorkshire Moors," Avalanche Party bring a fun-lovin' swagger to their debut full-length 24 Carat Diamond Trephine. In an interview for Narc Magazine, the band reveal that today's featured track is indeed an ode of sorts to the mid-'50s poem of the same title by beat-poet Allen Ginsberg, with frontman Jordan Bell acknowledging, "On the Road is a really good book to read on the road, funnily enough."
Check out the Song of the Day below via a video directed by James Tigerman Campbell. The band cheekily declare the clip as "taken straight from Avalanche Party's live tv performance on Buzz back in 1973, where their smart suits, trim hairstyles, and dope beats helped them stand out from Sweet, Slade, and Mud, propelling them to the forefront of UK popular culture." (And below that, check out their explosive performance from KEXP's 2019 International Clash Day broadcast from London.)
