New write-ups, see below
Latest Press:
"'Fibromyalgia' is pure mid-'90s L.A. rock, but this band also shows a deft touch with winsome Britpop and lite-electronica."
- SPIN.com
"Fun yet complex indie pop for adventurous music fans. Unlike other groups who stick to a certain melodic formula for their songs, Par Avion doesn't settle in one method for very long. At times, they have the indie traits of Death Cab for Cutie, while other tracks recall The Beatles ... or Stone Temple Pilots. Avion proves he is on par with other indie singers of our day with better connection to his lyrics. You can pick up the Par Avion EP, as well as the recently released 'Art School Dropout' single on iTunes now. Keep an ear on Par Avion."
- College News
"This next group just gets us at Skope all excited. One listen and you can just tell that this four piece called Par Avion is on to something. SPIN.com recently raved about these guys in '8 Undiscovered Bands Worth a Listen.' A favorite track that we just cannot get out of our head is 'Art School Dropout.' Two words that best describe Par Avion are 'mass appeal.' Another thing to note is the amount of press that Par Avion has garnered is impressive. We could not agree with these media outlets more. We will be keeping an eye on Par Avion."
- Skope Magazine (Boston)
"You can't deny the irreverent, lyrical prowess of lines like 'Like all rastas are looking for Jah/Or our fibromyalgia'. Before you brush off this act as pop tarts, just pay some attention to their nuances. Bouncy choruses, wit, charming melodies, bold guitar bits and even a few Nirvana-isms (check out the intro and phrasing on 'Art School Dropout') make this band standout for more than their quirky appeal and clever rhyme schemes."
- Sentimentalist Magazine (NYC)
"Cute pop-rock that sounds like Hellogoodbye with a little bit of The Flaming Lips. Stand out single: Stand-In."
- America's College Music Magazine
