Aviatik

Rising up from Akron, Ohio, the group of musicians knows as Aviatik ("ay-vee-attik") stands not just as a rock band, but as a protest for hope in a broken world. Crafting urgent, heartfelt anthems to a better tomorrow, Aviatik's music is a cry echoing in darkness: "We're not giving up!" Aviatik's incendiary live show has already led them to share the stage with acts like Powerman 5000, Adema, Stroke 9, The Suicide Machines & Wheatus. They are comprised of Kevin Gerity on guitar & vocals, Michael McFarland Watson on guitar, vocals & keys, Alex Herman on bass, and Michael "Louis" Hausknecht on drums & percussion. Similar Artists: Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, The Used, The Receiving End of Sirens, Anberlin Aviatik released their first full-length album, "The Reconstruction," in 2008. This album tells the story of an everyhuman who takes a revolutionary stand against the dehumanization of his peers, a stand which eventually costs him his life. They have been relentlessly promoting the album ever since, through a tight, arresting and ever-changing live show and a polished online presence.
