Album Notes

People, I'm not going to lie to you. Fooled By April is a fun band, but a pain in the ass to describe. Some people say that they're sort of like the bastard son of Cheap Trick and Fountains of Wayne, while others compare them more to what the Clash might have been had they listened to a lot more KISS.

Perhaps the most apt label that has been applied to them is "Hi-Fi Garage," acknowledging that as much as they bring a ragged rock and roll enthusiasm to their music, it is always tempered by the need to get those four part harmonies just right.

But one thing is certain, if you're in the market for shoegazer whining or indie rock posturing you best look elsewhere - these guys just want to make you dance.

And right now lots of people are dancing. The song "Nice to See You" is currently being featured in the ABC Family Channel's promotions for it's fall lineup, while "Inspiration" and "What You Do" will both be included in upcoming DVD releases of Dawson's Creek and Party of Five.

This CD Changed My Life

When I first heard this CD I thought wow, what a wonderful set of songs. I managed to get the lead singer to play a concert in Harrogate, Yorkshire, England when he spent a year in the UK from Sep 2005 to Sept 2006. Becoming a 'pop promoter' at 62 was interesting, my friends and family thought I was mad! However, I cannot believe any musical person would not rate this set as the best of the best.

Fooled by April would be so big in the UK

Fantastic, the best melodic power pop that I have heard for years. I am so sorry I did not find the CD before. With the right promotion in the UK this band would go to the top.

A very good EP from a very good band I only hope they put together an album in the near future, 6 tracks is not enough!

What a find--this is a fabulous cd!  I haven't played anything else since it arrived at my door.  All six tracks are stellar; the only thing that would make it better is if it was a full-length cd.  Even our two-year old is rocking out to this one!
