AVON - Video zur neuen Single "Super Furry Antidote"
Desert rock veterans AVON are back, and they’re bringing a piece of history with them.
The band has just dropped the video for their new single, "Super Furry Antidote", ahead of their eagerly awaited third studio album, "Black On Sunshine", which hits shelves on April 17 via Go Down Records.
"This song echoes James’ early days in California, when ‘Black On Sunshine’ was indeed a band, and this track was one of its standards. It was first recorded in the UK with Portishead’s Geoff Barrow on drums at his studio in 2003. Until now, the song never saw a release, however the track stands the test of time and has found a new home with Avon," the band says.

AVON’s lineup reads like a desert rock dream team. On drums, Alfredo Hernández - renowned for his work with Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, and Yawning Man - provides his signature groove and desert-born power. Frontman James Childs brings decades of experience from British rock outfit Airbus, collaborations with Geoff Barrow and "Philthy Animal" Taylor, and even an Emmy-nominated theme for Disney’s "Kick Buttowski". Anchoring the low end, bassist Charles Pasarell channels the deep Palm Springs desert vibe that shapes AVON’s unmistakable sound.
Following the success of "Mad Marco" (2016) and "Dave’s Dungeon" (2018), "Black On Sunshine" continues the band’s tradition of tight, dynamic songwriting that merges melodic depth with unrestrained energy. Rooted in the Californian desert yet fearlessly exploring new sonic terrain, the album blends psychedelic rock textures, driving grooves, and pure desert-born energy.
