December Avenue offer compelling songwriting as a healing tool for those who need to release and replenish. The friends-turned-bandmates have been performing pop-rock melodies since 2007, but permeated the OPM landscape in 2010 via hit single “Time to Go”. The five-piece ensemble are at their most affecting when wielding emotions using imagery, as on “Eroplanong Papel” from their 2016 self-titled debut, which ranked high on the Apple Music chart. December Avenue are not masked in any artifice—they convey sentiment through raw and digestible verses that propel listeners to start anew.
