AVB (Acappella Vocal Band, or All Vocal Band), was a spin-off group formed from the former backup singers of the Contemporary Christian act Acappella. While Acappella maintained a more traditional adult-oriented vocal style, AVB's music was aimed at a younger audience. Their sound is similar to Take 6, Boyz II Men, and Tony! Tone! Toni!. In 1994 they scored a hit on the CCM charts with a cover of the Mr Mister hit "Kyrie". According to the AVB website, the band is no longer together.
