I have seen you with my friend Erika twice. The first time was at Recher two or three years ago and that was my first real concert. I met Dave the and got a picture with him (I looked like a hot mess xD). I saw them again last year on warped tour and this time I knew all of the words to the songs. My mother even knew them too from me playing the CD in the car so much and thought Dave was very attractive xP. It was definitely the best way to close warped(they were the last ones to play). The only thing that could have been better is if the meet and greet after the show wasn't cancelled. But seriously, your music has been such an inspiration to me and every track you guys have out out has influenced me in some way. I wish you guys the best of luck in your future and hope you are happy with whatever you end up doing.

My only regret is not finding out about Every Avenue sooner! I started listening to them in 2010, wanted to go see them on Warped 2011, but couldn't go. Finally saw them last year 11.09.11 in New Orleans and it was amazing. Their live performance was so energetic and so memorable. I only wish their set was longer to see more songs live! Each band member was so kind and talkative after the show and I had a great conversation with each of them. I even met Noodles! Back in January, I attended a concert in Houston (I'm from Louisiana) and I drove home after the concert through the night. I listened to every Every Avenue album and song on the way home to keep me from falling asleep and I have them to thank for keeping me awake and making it home in one piece! I'd love to win tickets to a show on this final tour and taking a final road trip to see them live one last time. I only hope that Jimmie is successful with his solo career and the other band members pursue and succeed at whatever is next for them in life. I am so grateful for the amazing music they've released and I really appreciate all they've done for the fans over the years. I will definitely miss y'all as a band, but will keep track of each of you individually. Good luck in the future and keep doing what you're good at :)!

I have never actually been to a show because my mom never allowed it. I convinced her this time to let me go and is willing to drive about three hours so i can see Every Avenue. They really have gotten me through a lot, including my parents divorce and high-school. Not to mention For Always, Forever was top three picks for my graduation song. About my parents divorce i was feeling really low and not myself, listening to Every Avenue helped me more than anything. When my best friend left, well before she did i dedicated Only Place I Call Home to her and sung it to her last time i saw her. It has a special place in my heart and just means the world to me. I really hope i win, if not im still more than greateful and happy how much you guys have inspired me. Thank You.

I am so sad to say that I have only seen Every Avenue perform live once and my last chance to see them again is coming up. They are hands down, my favorite band. Every song is filled with so much meaning. No matter what I am going through, they have a song that can relate and I have yet to be disappointed by this group. I wish I could explain exactly how much they mean to me, but that would be impossible. There isn't much to say other than I cannot imagine my life without their music and I can't wait to see them again on their Last Call Tour. It would mean the world to me to get a chance to talk with the guys who have become my inspiration. I put together some of my favorite lyrics and pictures of the band from over the years to remember and recognize all that they have done.


Thanks for all the time, work, and heart you've put into your music. I can speak for EVERYONE when I say Every Avenue will be missed and no one will be able to compete with the legacy you guys will leave.

"these are the days that we will always remember"

I know I already submitted once, but this is probably the best memory of Every Avenue I have. The show was on December 19th, 2011 at the Emerson Theater in Indianapolis. It was their holiday run with Hit The Lights and Take Cover. I was second row and during Tie Me Down, I was recording a little of it and Dave looks into the camera, leans in, and nearly grabs my phone. It happens around the 50 second mark. So awesome. I love the fact that they're all so crowd interactive and take the time to meet and talk to their fans. They prove that they care about their fans. I've seriously never met a band that does that. This is just another one of about a thousand reasons why they're my favorite band. I can't explain enough how much these guys mean to me. Not just as a band, but each one of them individually. Each one of them has personally done something for me. I could use this meet and greet to explain EVERYTHING to them. Everything from how they have nearly saved my life on more than one occasion to how much I will always look up to each one of them and how much they inspire me to keep moving and pursue life when it gets me down and continue on with whatever direction life throws me in. These guys mean the WORLD to me and would seriously do anything for them.

I want to go to this concert so bad! I've never seen them live before. This would be an amazing experience. Every Avenue have always been one of my favorite bands, not only because their music is amazing, but because their music is so inspiring and meaningful. They are indeed true talented musicians.

Every Avenue came up to the newspaper office at University of San Diego where I worked as a sophomore (Spring 2010) before a sold out show at the San Diego House of Blues that evening. They were a riot. What was great was how down to earth they were. When they found out where I was from, they asked me if I had ever been to Lawrence, Kansas and a couple of them talked about how they would move there in a heartbeat. I found talking with them to be refreshing because they really do value a sense of community and aren't into the hype of a coastal city, etc. I got to talk to Josh again backstage at Warped this year, and I cannot express how sad I am that they won't be touring as Every Avenue (at least in the near future).

Dave's voice is gorgeous (that goes without saying), and their music got me through several difficult periods of time in high school and college. It was also the backdrop to college, so I can't say I regret a moment of listening to it! Plus, I have some CRAZY memories associated with them! Love you guys, and good luck with everything! I'm going to try my hardest to get out to one of these last shows!

This is going to be a long one...

First of all, I’m flying from Salt Lake City, Utah to Detroit, Michigan to see The Last Call Tour, if that can’t sum up how much they mean to me, I don’t know what can.

It's hard to put into words what Every Avenue means to me and how much they have truly impacted my life. They've brought me closer to my sister, ignited friendships, and made me feel like I do belong somewhere.

Me and my sister haven't always gotten along the best, but there is one they we can agree on, music. It's amazing to share that love and passion with her. Every Avenue is without a doubt, one of our favorite bands. When we heard they were going on hiatus, we were crushed, especially that The Last Call Tour was not coming anywhere near SLC. We both instantly decided that we would fly to a show. We picked Michigan in hopes of seeing two shows, Detroit and Port Huron, not to mention on their home turf!(; I have been lucky enough to see Every Avenue four times, but she has yet to see them. It would mean the world to me for her to be able to meet the boys. It would make emptying our savings accounts for this adventure, just that much more worth it.

That brings me to what I admire most about Dave, Josh, Jimmie, Matt, and Dennis. That is their love and appreciation for their fans. The first time I met Dave in 2010, he kindly introduced himself and asked what my name was. He was so willing to have a conversation with me (and everyone else) when he had a huge line of people waiting to meet him. These boys are ALWAYS out meeting fans out after shows. They honestly don't know how much that means to me.

But,

My most memorable experience at one of their shows, was at their Co-Headliner with We Are The In Crowd in February. When the boys went to come back on stage for their encore, the venue had turned the power off on them, to rush the crowd out the doors so they could open the club. Dave stayed put on that stage and played that encore, just him and his guitar, no lights, no mic, no amps. It was one of the most amazing moments in my life. I was overwhelmed with a feeling of gratefulness, and knew that was exactly why I loved this band so much.

If that wasn't enough excitement for the night, the venue then threatened to call the cops on Dave for "trespassing" for staying in the venue to take pictures and talk with the fans. The security started to literally push people out of the venue and Dave stood up for them. The whole band was then kicked out of the venue, without their phones, jackets, etc, all of it left in the venue and greenroom. As everyone waited for the cops to show up, was the band freaking out? Or leaving? No, they were taking pictures and talking to everyone. I have yet to see another band so dedicated to their fans. It was amazing to see just how much they cared to play that encore for us and to meet us.

I have spent countless amount of hours waiting in line (I'm short and like to know that I will be able to see from the front) for shows, street teaming (pushing a single for radio, hanging up poster for tours and cd releases), I've made lifelong friendships because of them. One of those friends moved 2000 miles away to Georgia and our motto is "'Cause this is see you later, I'm not into goodbyes." Hell, even my mom and dad love Every Avenue!

So, to say the least, it would literally mean the world to win those meet and greets. For my sister to be able to meet them and for me to be able to thank them for the amazing impact they have had on me.

This isn't so much about my memories with Every Avenue, it's about what they have done for me and what they mean to me.

These men have gotten me through the roughest times in my life. When all hope in life was lost for me, they were there. When I was abandoned by all of my “friends” after high school and even some of my college friends, they remained. When I needed someone to talk to about what I’m going through, they were there. They were my rock. My foundation. They formed me into the person I am today. They give me strength. Strength I’ve never had to carry on living everyday in such a hateful and meaningless world. When I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life and where to go, they showed me it was normal and they felt the same way too. When I was lost without a direction to go, they showed me where to go. Those nights I spent locked in my room deeper than I've ever been in my life, they were there with me telling me to “take a step back. Hold on tighter.” They taught me how to accept who I am and showed me reasons why I shouldn't hate myself. I can’t express how much these men have impacted and influenced my life. There’s a reason I have “EA” tattooed on my bicep. It represents the strength they've given me. The on going struggle of staying strong in life and its up's and down's. It represents that no matter what, their music will always be by my side. It sucks to see them go, but no matter what, they will always have 100% of my support. I still can’t wrap my mind around the thought of them not being around anymore. I’ll always be waiting to hear about a new album, a new tour, that they’re writing new music….They’ll always be a band in my eyes. They’ll always be my FAVORITE band. They’ve gotten me through more than any person can. They never left my side even when other people did. They are like my best friends. I feel like they get me more than anyone and know exactly how I’m feeling and exactly what I’m going through. It’s all so unreal that this is their last tour. I don't know who I would be without them. They'll always be my favorite band. Hands down. They truly are my heroes.



I'll never forget when I saw them. It was on their headlining tour with We Are The In Crowd. I drove about 3 and a half hours because my location sucks and no one EVER comes around here. After the show, I waited an hour and a half outside to meet the band. I was talking to Dave and told him with me being a solo artist, he was the person that I look up to the most. He gave me a fist bumb, told me that I was awesome and then gave me one of the biggest hugs I've ever gotten. That's something I'll never forget. They're all really great people and some of the nicest people I've ever met. It's hard to see them go, but hopefully this is just a "see you later".

“No matter how far apart we’ll always have the memories.” “For always, forever”. “I’ll be right beside you.” “We are all a wreck.”

I love music. No matter what happens, music has always been there for me. One day I noticed "Picture Perfect" sitting on top of my friend's latest cd collection and I asked her what it was. She said "Oh it was in the top 5 of the week so I picked it up." She had never heard of Every Avenue, and neither had I at this point. However, as soon as I played the album, I was hooked. I have been a fan ever since. I bought "Shh..Just Go With It" soon after along with "Ah!" and "This Is Why We Don't Have Nice Things" and had realized that thanks to PureVolume and Myspace, I had already heard of the band, it just didn't click in my head. I have followed the band for years now and have been able to pass along the music to as many of my friends as I can.

I've been able to see the band two times already and am looking forward to this tour. I already have tickets to their show in Philadelphia, but I wanted to share my memories of the band. When I first saw Every Avenue, it was in November of 2010 in Lancaster, Pa at Chameleon Club. I was hooked as soon as they started playing. I knew this band was more than that. I saw them again at TLA in Philly earlier this year and they were even better than before. They had just released "Bad Habits" (which is my favorite of their albums) and it was a show I will never forget.

These guys are musicians who know how to interact with fans and know how to have fun along the way. As the band moves on towards solo and other projects, I only hope that they do come back again and make another album down the road. Every Avenue's music will live on. I can't go a day without hearing at least one song. I know I'm not the only one. So thanks Every Avenue, you have been an inspirational band from the start and I look forward to your future as a band and as individuals. Good luck and I can't wait until December 12th!

"These are the days that we will always remember. Chasing the night to make our days better."

My friend told me about Every Avenue about three years ago, and I've been in love with them and their music ever since. I saw them on warped tour on August 2nd, 2011 in Cincinnati and I saw them again March 23, 2012 also in Cincinnati. I am for sure seeing them December 7, 2012 in Canton, Ohio for their last tour. When they announced that they had big news, I was hoping for a big tour, new music, or something awesome. When I found out they were going to be done, I was heartbroken. They have been my favorite band for years, and I listen to them non-stop. These pictures are from the March 2012 concert. My friend and I (the one that introduced me to them) drove 3 hours to go see them and got their early to be near the front, we eventually made our way up and the concert was awesome. They played with Simple as Surgery, We are in The Crowd, and others. It was a long wait, but they made every second worth it. Their performances never fail to amaze me. Their music has helped me through so much in life. I listen to it with my friends to have fun, and when i'm upset or mad it can always make me feel better. Their music and lyrics can describe my life perfectly and they can sing the words that I can't say. They are such great people, i've watched their interviews, and also at the March 2012 concert in Cincinnati, they let a guy propose to his wife and it was the sweetest moment ever. I guarentee both of them will never forget that moment, and it's all thanks to the band Every Avenue for making it possible. I know I won't forget it. They just know how to use their music to get on a certain level with people that is impossible otherwise. They know how to connect with their fans and make every single of them happy and energetic in a crowd. I've never loved a band more. It would be an honor to meet these great people, and it would mean so much to my friend too. They've helped her in more ways than I can say and it would mean the world to both of us. All good things must come to an end, but hopefully this is just a "see you later"

ok the word nx is supposed to be non-stop haha everytime i fix the post it changes it to nx? lol idk why but that's what it's supposed to say -.-

I've been a fan of Every Avenue for over two years now. The first time I heard the song "Tell Me I'm a Wreck", I instantly fell in love. I downloaded all of their music and listened to their band nx! I watched every interview imaginable and everything about them just made me happy! I could be having a horrible day and Every Avenue never fails to put a smile on my face. Whether it's their music, a video, a picture, or even a tweet, the band can make me feel better. Even writing this right now, I’m happy. Sure, they’re taking a break, which is upsetting, but they will always be one of my favorite bands. I saw them last year on Yellowcard's fall tour and it was more than words can explain. It was definitely one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I caught a guitar pick and got to meet Matt (that's us in the picture below)! Thinking about that show makes me even more excited to possibly see them on their Last Call Tour! Over the years, their music has evolved with them and it's time for them to move on. All of their fans know Dave, Matt, Dennis, Josh, and Jimmie will go on to do something successful and we will always, without a doubt, support them. :)

This is Josh and myself a few years ago. We're showing off our new temporary tattoos. I had the privilege of getting to know the guys over the years and had the honor of being able to call them my friends for a while. Anyone who knows them knows that they love to have fun and hangout with their friends. This trip to Augusta, GA will forever be one of my best memories with the guys

This pretty much sums up how I see these boys. I was doing photography for the Take Action Tour and was able to snag a shot of them just being goofy. I'll miss these guys terribly!!

Every Avenue was one of the first bands I ever started listening to. Their music has been the fuel to my fire for the past few years and although I never was able to see them live they've continued to inspire me.
Thank you guys for being you and I wish you all the best of luck in your future!

I've seen Every Avenue live twice but my favorite was when they did a co-headliner with We Are The In Crowd because I saw them on my birthday. It was a great show and probably one of my favorite birthdays. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures with the band or I'd show them but I do have the memories of the two concerts I went to. thanks for the memories boys I'll never forget them

Last year before Christmas I saw Every Avenue perform for the 2nd time here in Grand Rapids, MI.
I was able to take some great photos, as I am an aspiring photography student. I got such great comments from these photos!

Unfortunately, me and my boyfriend had to leave early, because his grandpa had fallen ill, and he had to make a 45 min snowy drive to Battle Creek, MI.

Although some of the band members were battling the Flu, they still put on a great show and I will forever remember this awesome intimate show that they put on. Thanks guys!

Oops, I thought I'd be able to delete that other comment....anyway, I took this picture the first time I saw Every Avenue. This was when they were on tour with We Are The In Crowd, and a few other bands. It was hard for me to take pictures at this show because of the lighting and I'm pretty short, so it's hard to see over taller people. I still had a ton of fun with two of my best friends seeing two of our favorite bands. My favorite part of the show was when they played Tie Me Down. I thought it was so funny because my dad refused to let me go to the concert without an adult, so he was sitting in the back listening. He probably felt really uncomfortable. I always look forward to seeing Every Avenue again, and this is going to be the last time. I'm really sad that this is it for them, but I'm happy for them at the same time.
