Avant Garde were formed in summer 1978 in Addiscombe, Croydon. In their early days their music was mainly acoustic, and could be described as folk-punk. Later they added drums to their lineup and moved in more of a powerpop/ sixties-influenced direction. They released 2 cassette-only albums on the Web of Tircelyn label, 1979's "Old hat" and "Here we come a Wandle-ing" in 1982.
