 If you're looking for something new but not too heavy on the eyes, we've got a brand new Avril Lavigne interview just waiting for you to check out! Women's Wear Daily was interested in the upcoming Abbey Dawn footwear that many of you Bandaiders have been excited about, apparently it is to be expected in the Fall this year! Just a little more waiting... Though a majority of us love the Abbey Dawn centric articles, stick around anyway if that stuff doesn't quite get you. There's some interesting, random tidbits for you to learn like Avril's guilty pleasure, best on stage moment, where she'd like to be if she could travel in time and why she doesn't really like to read. Read WWD's Interview with Avril Lavigne in the forums to find out the answers, thanks to Hank for posting.

Feb 04, 2012 - 12:35 AM - by Zach

 Ahead of Avril Lavigne's scheduled show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on February 18 comes a glowing review from "Time Out Kuala Lumpur." Perhaps the best quote of the article says, "There aren't many singers who outlived the shadow of mainstreamers like Britney,Gaga and Beyonce. Avril is one. She's unique, her songs even more individualized. It's a shame how the industry often overlooks her capability as a songwriter." We could not agree more! Avril has been around for 10 years now and she is still going strong. Thanks to AnnaWanderer, you can read Time Out's great article about Avril.
