When pop goes head to head against punk and heart-broken angst, you never know what to expect. 16th Avenue is the band that will put it into perspective for you. Born in 2003, this trio, originating in Saint John, NB, pour out an energetic live show full of contagiously infectious anthems you won’t stop singing along with. They may only be 20 years of age, but that hasn’t stopped them from creating a sound that catches ears and turns heads. They have built a solid following around New Brunswick and even fans across the world, gaining respect of even pop-punk haters with their blood, sweat & tears performance.

They were held up in Toronto studios with Murray Daigle throughout the summer of 2006. What was created, is a brilliantly crafted record that can stand up to the Hedley’s, the Simple Plan’s and the Good Charlotte’s of today. Even though it was the bands first time in a studio environment, their pure intent and grit can be heard on every song. Carefully written, full of melodic hooks and truly a solid, all-around record, “In It to Win It” has the potential to make 16th Avenue real (and worthy) players in the rock n roll game.

With their new album only being released locally in the past few weeks, it has already gone on to sell hundreds of copies. Their single has hit #1 on multiple major East Coast radio stations and they have been voted #1 band to watch out for in Here Magazine. They are also ranked amongst the top ten unsigned pop/punk bands on Purevolume.com.
