ESSENTIAL RECORDS: Avail – Dixie
Posted by Krist under ESSENTIAL RECORDS , MP3'S , MUSIC , MUSIC LINKS , MUSIC VIDEO , VIDEO[4] Comments
Honestly one of my favorite punk records of all time. This record from these Richmond Va punks, was a really nice example of how punk could be melodic, high energy and anthemic. I fucking loved this band for the first 4 albums and actually the last time I was ever in a ‘pit’ was at their show at Slims in SF in 1996.
For fans of any uptempo high energy rock / punk:
Avail – Model (the song about models and their drive to stay beautiful)
Avail – Sidewalk (the catchy punk one!)
Avail – Southbound 95 (the anthemic one!)
a B side from that record:

I lived in Richmond for like 5 years from 2001-2006 and some how I never managed to see Avail
The last time I saw them was also 1996 in DC. It was a pretty amazing show.

These guys can cover me anytime.
I actually rediscovered this album recently myself and was surprised at how many great memories I have tied to this record. One of my 17-year-old self’s definite favorites.
