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.

"I touch on more subjects of the times when I can’t be around for everybody, there’s [that] sentiment on the record."
Raw, honest, and powerful punk rock.
The release lacks the same levels of reckless whimsy that previous LP Avalanche United held in spades, but you can’t deny Vinnie Caruana and the boys have tightened every facet of this rock’n’roll operation.
I Am The Avalanche have been going for around a decade now, creating fantastic post hardcore/punk music that is celebrated in scenes across the world. They've described their upcoming album 'Wolverines' as "the achievement of what we've been progressing towards." Killyourstereo.com recently got the chance to chat to frontman Vinnie Caruana about the release and to find out when we can expect the band back down in Australia.
