Avenue in Oceania is Jason, Andy and Kamyar. The music
is a combination of Andy's powerful synth textures and 
Kamyar's colorful guitar work and song arrangements, this
provides the foundation for Jason's insightful lyrics.  

What does the world look like when you remove the shiny,
fake veneer of slick advertising and propaganda? We attempt 
to explore our present world, where the niceties and illusions
are stripped away, and things are seen as they are. 

For many, many years, people have been hiding from the 
reality of things through addiction to television, religion, and
general escapism of all kinds. Avenue in Oceania is an 
attempt to face the dark, hidden things that people pass by
and ignore every day. We present a portrayal of how things 
are if looked at honestly and without a retreat into 
pretty, sentimental lenses to disguise and soften the state 
of things. It is a cry in the darkness...

It is an attempt to recognize and re-create a world 
in which an honest recognition of truth could be met with 
change instead of cynicism. It is a project for a hopeful future 
that can only be achieved by recognizing how illusory 
our comforts are… 

We are not, like many others, looking to exploit and 
highlight the failures and misery found in the world today. 
There are many who express angst and anger about the 
world around them. Our goal is to musically present ideas 
that might make one think, or move, or sing to the rhythms 
of the world we live in, and discover where those things 
that have not been looked at closely due to innumerable
distractions, can be viewed in a different way. Revolutionary
thought does not require militant action. It can, however, 
lead to a genesis of new operational paradigms that can 
lead to great change. We are committed advocates of truth. 
It is not a slick promotional gimmick. 

Our music is the medium by which we present that. 
It is accomplished through melodic textures and direct, biting, 
and sometimes witty words. We present this project as 
our musical treatise…A handbill of sounds and sights that 
are for all to rise above, not for our own aggrandizement…

It is why we do what we do.
