Avadence have released their debut album titled "The Best Mistake." This album is one that definitely has a pop punk feel to it. These guys have a similar sound to that of a Mayday Parade or an early Maine, so if you like those bands, you could really like this album. They have done an okay job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, not quite sure if the quality just hasn't stood up since it was recorded or it wasn't great to start off with, but it doesn't have the best sound to it. The instrumentation on the album is pretty average, they can certainly play though, which is a really good sign. Now onto the vocals and the lyrics, the vocals here are probably the bright spot of the album, as the singer can sing, while being quite clear and having a good voice to go along with it. With the lyrics, these ones are quite what you would expect from a young pop punk band. Songs about girls, break ups and having fun are some of the subjects covered here. They are not the best lyrics, but you can see the potential here. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album, we suggest "Sunken Hearts." Avadence have made a debut sort of welcome to album that shows what direction the band is wanting to go, as well as made a base for the band to build from. This is not a bad album, we look forward to what is next. Listen to this album to decide what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
