IHOW X Every AvenueIn Her Own Words bio:For the last decade, In Her Own Words have quietly become one of the most beloved and consistent voices in modern pop punk, building a dedicated fanbase through brutally honest songwriting, massive singalong choruses, and the kind of emotional connection that only comes from lived experience.In 2026, the band celebrates the 10 year anniversary of their breakthrough album Unfamiliar, the record that helped define a generation of emotionally charged pop-punk and introduced fans to songs that still hit just as hard today. From bedroom speakers to packed clubs around the world, Unfamiliar became more than just an album. It became a soundtrack for growing up, falling apart, and figuring yourself out along the way.To celebrate the milestone, the band will be performing Unfamiliar in full on a special anniversary co-headline tour alongside longtime scene favorites Every Avenue. Bringing together two bands whose songs helped shape the soundtrack of the late 2000s and 2010s emo and pop punk scene, the tour is designed as both a nostalgic celebration and a reminder of why these songs continue to resonate with fans years later.Ten years ago we made Unfamiliar as a bunch of kids trying to process anxiety, heartbreak, growing pains, and everything in between, says vocalist Joey Fleming. We never imagined those songs would still mean this much to people a decade later. Seeing fans scream these lyrics back to us after all this time is honestly surreal.While the anniversary tour celebrates the album that changed everything for the band, In Her Own Words arent simply revisiting the past. Behind the scenes, the band has spent the last year working on a brand new full-length album, one they describe as their most ambitious and emotionally honest material to date. With new music expected in 2026, this tour marks both a celebration of where the band came from and the beginning of an entirely new chapter. Every Avenue Bio:Every Avenue is an American pop-punk band from Marysville, Michigan, formed in 2003. Before their temporary disbandment, the group consisted of David Ryan Strauchman (lead vocals, piano), Joshua Randall Withenshaw (lead guitar), Jimmie Deeghan (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Matt Black (bass, backing vocals) and Dennis Wilson (drums, percussion). The band is signed to Fearless Records and released their debut album, Shh, Just Go with it in 2008. It was followed up by their second album, Picture Perfect, in 2009, which reached No. 136 on Billboard 200. In 2011, the bands latest and third album titled Bad Habits was released, and it peaked at No. 63 on Billboard 200, being the bands highest chart position and sold over 300,000 Records Worldwide.. Every Avenue has toured with bands such as Mayday Parade, All Time Low, The Maine on The Compromising of Integrity, Morality and Principles in Exchange for Money Tour, Boys Like Girls, and have appeared on the Vans Warped Tour. In 2023, David Strauchman announced The Light In The Dark Tour with support from rising pop-punk band Makeout, and emo-pioneer SayWeCanFly including co-headline dates with Sparks The Rescue.

    Trust the process.

    These three words have been the cornerstone of In Her Own Words’ journey so far. That is, embracing the highs and lows of the music industry, all while writing songs that authentically illustrate the human experience. It can be challenging to claim your unique voice in a scene so clouded by social media and the pressures of being in a band. But Joey Fleming (vocals) and Andretti Almalel (guitar) are in a sonic awakening. Their eyes are on the prize, and now more than ever, they are sharing their authentic voices with the world.

    Blending a vibrant range of sonic influences from both coasts, it is hard to define In Her Own Words’ sound in a few words. While their 2022 LP Distance or Decay intertwines polished instrumentation with soulful vocal melodies, older fan-favorite tracks like “Right Now” and “Serotonin” showcase the raw angst and emotion that resonated with listeners during the Warped Tour days. While their current catalog is nothing short of dynamic, the duo’s upcoming collection of songs feels like a breath of fresh air, combining everything they’ve learned in their last releases to create something passionate and new.

    “This new era of the band feels like what I’ve been trying to accomplish since I joined,” vocalist Joey Fleming says. “Andretti and I click on so many levels in the studio, and I feel like I’ve finally found my place as a songwriter. It’s finally translating into the music.”

    This sentiment shines brightly through the band’s latest release, “Beg For More.” Fleming’s powerful vocal delivery, paired with Andretti’s mastery of the earworm guitar riff, reveals just how far they’ve come since the band’s inception. And, of course, the song’s emotional down-chorus signifies In Her Own Words' continued commitment to bringing sincerity to the forefront.

    So, what’s next for the duo? Expect a wave of new singles through the end of 2024 and an elevated live show. Their resilience proves that there is beauty in the unknown, and the creative process is so much more fulfilling when we embrace the change that comes with it.

    “I would tell my younger self to not worry so much about failure or what people will think about what I’m doing. Just do what I know how to do and let things fall into place.”
