Biography

Get ready Australia. The new album from indie champions British India is coming like an AVALANCHE. Featuring the smash hit single ‘Beneath The Satellites’ and the tasty ‘Vanilla,’ Avalanche is the third studio album from these four high school friends.

British India emerged from the fertile underbelly of Melbourne’s independent music scene to take Australia by storm in July 2007 with their acclaimed debut album Guillotine. As their songs ‘Black & White Radio’, ‘Tie Up My hands’, ‘Run The Red Light’ and ‘Teenage Mother’ became arm-raising, air-punching anthems at venues and festivals across the country, British India developed a hard-earned reputation for their explosive live shows. They took out the 2007 AIR Award for Best New Independent Artist.

Exactly one year later in July 2008 the boys released their second album Thieves, which debuted Top 5 in the ARIA charts and #1 in the AIR charts. Thieves demonstrated the band’s growth, both as songwriters and musicians as heard in the brooding, foot-stomping singles ‘I Said I’m Sorry,’ ‘This Dance Is Loaded,’ ‘You Will Die And I Will Take Over’ and ‘God Is Dead (Meet The Kids)’, and earned the boys their first ARIA Award nomination.

British India are one of Australia’s hardest working bands, having played over 300 gigs in the past two years alone. They’ve smashed their way through several sell-out tours and festivals like Big Day Out, Falls, Pyramid Rock, Southbound, Homebake and Splendour In The Grass to name a few.  British India’s live show is a force to be reckoned with.

The band have earned their place as the indie darlings of Australia’s underground music scene in more ways than one. Having resisted the temptation of the major record labels the boys remain unsigned and more independent than ever before. Avalanche will again be released through Shock Records. Avalanche is the first album the band has recorded in their hometown at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne with producer Glenn Goldsmith who co produced both ‘Guillotine’ & ‘Thieves.’

Jam packed with brilliant pop melodies, high-octane rock & roll, and the lyrical genius of singer Declan Melia; Avalanche takes the garage pop which has characterized British India’s initial success to new heights. ‘Vanilla’ released exclusively to triple j became the station’s most popular download in November and gave the boys their 3rd entry in triple J Hottest 100. The new single ‘Beneath The Satellite’ has been added to high rotation on both Triple j and Nova FM across Australia.‘ Avalanche shows just how far British India have come and their rise will continue in 2010.

Watch out Australia, British India are coming like an Avalanche.
