"Beautiful" by Avion

There is a rather confusing history behind the pop rock band called Avion. Avion emerged from the ashes of a band called The Tories, and the common thread here is the talented singer and songwriter Steve Bertrand. Some of the songs from The Tories also appear on this lone release from Avion.

The self-titled record from Avion was released in 2004. 

This is a brilliant, nearly flawless record from start to finish - I don't know how in the world it got overlooked. Filled with catchy, hard-edged pop songs and gorgeous ballads, Avion should have taken the country by storm. My favorite track is "Beautiful" - check it out.
