Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Avril Lavigne started working on songs for her first album, Let Go. With massive early hits like “Complicated” and “Sk8er Boi,” Avril quickly became a force to be reckoned with in mainstream pop, bringing a pop-punk sound and skater influences into the spotlight with her — and becoming one of the first women to have worldwide success in the very male-dominated space. To this day, Let Go remains one of the best-selling albums by a Canadian artist, and has been certified seven times platinum (!). Following up her debut with 2004’s Under My Skin and 2007’s The Best Damn Thing — which spawned her first No. 1 hit, “Girlfriend” — by 21, Lavigne was a household name.
Avril’s “Love Sux” album release party was a star-studded affair, with Travis Barker, Machine Gun Kelley and Mod Sun joining her on stage. Kourtney Kardashian and Megan Fox supported their fiance’s from backstage. Avril performed new songs from “Love Sux”, some of the classic hits, and “Flames” with Mod Sun.
Avril’s highly anticipated 7th album, “Love Sux” is finally here! Avril’s most “pop-punk” album to date, she returns to what made us fall in love with her in the first place – the bratty, high energy and catchy as hell tunes we all grew up with 20 years ago! Download/stream NOW!!!
