Avrocar

Avrocar were a post rock band from Birmingham, England active between the late 90's and 2013. The group have been compared to Nick Drake, Kraftwerk and My Bloody Valentine and have been cited as an influence by acts as diverse as Radiohead, Deerhunter and Tropic Of Cancer. Members included Perry McDonagh and Anthony Harding, the latter having a solo career under the name of July Skies.
