Mau5 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thought it'd be interesting to list some bands or music that you find are similar to AVA's style (or vice versa). We all know the influences of the Cure and U2 that AVA seemingly rips off, but I'm more trying to find bands that rely on delayed guitars, synth rhythms, and interesting interludes and whathaveyou. A recent band that I started to get into was a band call Savoir Adore, which seem to follow a pattern of building their songs off repeated synths and interesting guitar riffs. The music isn't complicated, but they produce a pretty relaxing and often times melodic sound that I often feel resembles the idea AVA tries to seek. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIcSTJojfjw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0zLsVcRuIg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mau5 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I didn't really mean bands that are intentional rip offs or are carbon copies of Tom-Delonge wannabes, I more meant bands that have a similar sound and yet are able to replicate it in such a way that they make it into a new, different sound. Or at least, their own sound...if that makes sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could be of greater help, but other than iTunes? You could try buying EPs/Albums off their merch site: http://www.eyeshine.net/Store_Music.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 i mean there are bands like God Is An Astronaut (amongst many others) who shit all over AVA on a daily basis and perform genuinely amazing, and better, music at a level that Tom wants to achieve. not to mention they don't use samples live like douchebags. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP8st5vySJY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthem Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 jesus christ those bands are terrible. I'll stick with AVA thank you very much. bunch of knock offs. that life after whatever dude is copying toms mannerisms. sorry but only Tom DeLonge can make Tom DeLonge work. They all have that same shitty youtube nasal singing style too... Tom may have a ton of things wrong with him but he knows how to balance music(most of the time). those drum parts make the songs sound so cheesy and crappy.
