Biography

Hardie Avenue was first formed in Seattle, WA in 2003. Having released Army of One in 2007 (Yuri Mayba, Michael Carr, Pablo and Vadim Bozko) and Piercing the Darkness in 2008 (Yuri Mayba, Vadim Bozko, Montaque Reynolds) Hardie Avenue with Yuri Mayba and Montaque Reynolds moved to Tulsa, OK were they promptly began to write a new album though with a fundamental difference, this time it would be for Tate Music Group.
It was here that they met up with David and Steven Allie (bass and rhythm guitar), and Pete Web (percussion). With all five members, they started working on Beautiful Words in August of 2009. One month after arriving in Oklahoma. This album would be a completely new experience for this Seattle band. New band members, new town and new lifestyles would equal a completely new listening experience for old fans and new alike.

They were extremely busy in 2009 playing outreaches, concerts, and worship services all over the North West including Portland, OR, Morton, WA, and Seattle, WA with artists such as Sons of Day, The Rag Band and Catalyst, Out of the Alley, and Noon Day Son to name a few. In June they played big splash with Amber Pacific and New Heights headlined by Jars of Clay and Steller Kart.

In January 2010 they began the recording process for Beautiful words with Josh Duggan from Jonah 33 as the producer. It was in the midst of a horrendous ice storm in Oklahoma City which prevented the band from completing the album at that time. In March Yuri flew to Seattle to place the final touches with the help of Mark Baker formerly of Metal Church and Vitaly Loukyanov of White Wings Music Studio.

Since that time, this band has been ministering throughout Oklahoma to build support in order to take their music ministry to the rest of the US and the world. Mark 16:15 tells us to go into all the world and preach the gospel. This band has been tasked with fulfilling that call through music, having already touched thousands they are still in the beginning stages and look forward to all that God has in store.
