I Am The Avalanche

I Am the Avalanche is an American punk rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The group's name comes from a lyric written by Vinnie Caruana for a song which was later discarded. The phrase also appears in the poem "Oh, Immobility, Death's Vast Associate" by Stephen Dobyns; however, Caruana maintains that this is a coincidence, and that he was not aware of the poem until after naming the band.

The band have cited numerous bands as influences, including Seaweed, Descendents, No Use for a Name, the Beatles, the Libertines, Jets to Brazil, Jawbreaker, Lagwagon, and Bad Religion.
