Avo-8 were a band who hailed from Edinburgh. They released three singles, one on their own label with the other two for Cherry Red. They also toured with the likes of the Darling Buds but in 1990 they decided it wasn't fun anymore and disbanded the band.
I featured the band on the old indie mp3 site and at that time there was nothing, apart from a page on Twee Net, about them on the net. However this has changed as a new site has appeared covering the band in far greater detail than I ever could and what's more it seems most of their catalogue is available in mp3 format!
The singles are far and away their best tracks but there is a nugget or two amongst the rest.
Avo-8 - Is This The End?
Avo-8 - Big Car
