There are two bands that share this name.
1. The April Skies - Hershey, PA (Trademark owners)
The Hershey, Pennsylvania indie rock band The April Skies is a much different band than it once was. Following years of gigging, near-misses and near-hits that go as far back as 1988; The April Skies disappeared from the indie music scene in 1998. When they returned in 2001, they brought with them a new attitude and a new mission: to let the world hear their music. In 2003, they released The Breathe EP and followed that up with the full-length Flood in 2005. Flood became a break-through record that proved the band was a formidable force in the independent music scene and an act capable of making solid, important records. Flood sold in stores from Los Angeles to Boston, the press was favorable and flattering. From coast to coast, radio stations promoted and played the disc as well and the band wrapped up 2005 performing around the East Coast in support of Flood.
The April Skies started out 2006 by entering the studio and beginning work on a new release. In March of that year, they took time out of recording to finish promoting Flood with an East coast mini tour. Singer/Guitarist Jake Crawford: “The tour was one of the best times weve experienced as a band. But we were more than ready to finish the new CD and get out there and play more.”
If The April Skies sound like a new band on How It All Played Out it’s because, they practically are: changes to the line-up as well as the on-going process of life were defining elements that not only helped shape this CD but the band itself.
