Pacific Avenue
Band New South Wales Australia Formed 2017 Australian indierock group
Pacific Avenue formed in 2017 in New South Wales, Australia. Pacific Avenue has 4 chart appearances on 3 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 2022–2024. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Leaving for London”, which appears on 1 list with a best position of #57. The station that charted Pacific Avenue most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 4 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2023.
Pacific Avenue came together in New South Wales in 2017: Harry O'Brien singing and playing guitar, Ben Fryer on lead guitar, Jack Kay on bass and backing vocals, and Dom Littrich on drums. They paid their dues opening for San Cisco, the Belligerents and British India before their debut album, Flowers, arrived in May 2023.
It's a sunny, jangling, retro-leaning record, built on bright guitar chime and big, open-hearted choruses. "Leaving for London" has the wistful pull of a goodbye, "Spin Me Like Your Records" is a hip-shaking, sugar-rush strut, and "Strawberry Daydream" drifts off into sweet, hazy psychedelia. "Lucy" followed in 2024, keeping the good-time glow going.
