Australia’s own Rock N’ Roll Hard Rock Powerhouse AVALANCHE has dropped their knockout new single, “Down for the Count,” which is set to shake up the entire Rock World. This track delivers an unrelenting blast of pure rock fury, showcasing Aussie rock at its finest as the ultimate fighter’s anthem about getting back up when life hits hard and fighting ‘til the last bell! With perhaps their catchiest riff to date, the single features a knockout, ear worm guitar riff, vocals strong enough to strip paint off the walls, and the ultimate sing along chorus ready for the pub or the stadium alike. This exciting single comes fresh off the announcement that the band, led by husband and wife Veronica Campbell and Steven Campbell alongside Blake Poulton and Bon Lowe, will be supporting Aussie rock royalty Airbourne on tour across Europe and the UK, all leading into their highly anticipated debut album ‘Armed to the Teeth’ on February 13, 2026.
Since emerging from a steel factory in 2018, Avalanche has taken the world by storm, headlining tours and festivals across Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and New Caledonia, and sharing stages with rock titans like Nashville Pussy, Buckcherry, Fozzy, and Rose Tattoo. Their relentless drive earned them international acclaim, including winning Australia’s largest live original band competition, Passport To Airlie, solidifying their reputation for explosive performances and raw, unfiltered Rock ‘n’ Roll. Produced by Grammy nominated, ARIA award winning producer Steve James, the band’s sonic assault has resonated globally, earning airplay on influential stations like Triple M, Kerrang!, and Planet Rock. Frontman Steven Campbell shares the amazing story behind their debut album’s name: “‘Armed To The Teeth’ has been over 2 years in the making, it is quite literally our blood, sweat and beers! The album name was actually inspired by (Airbourne’s) Joel O’Keffee after sending him the masters, he very excitedly called us saying the track ‘Armed To The Teeth’ was one of the best new rock songs he’s ever heard, even comparing it to AC/DC’s ‘Let There Be Rock’ and that it would be a killer album name!”
Their biggest year yet, 2026 will see them touring their debut album across Europe and the UK supporting Airbourne, followed by the legendary Rock The Boat cruise, where they will play alongside rock royalty like Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses), Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Robin Zander (Cheap Trick), Phil X (Bon Jovi), and James Lomenzo (Megadeth).
