MP3 The April Skies - The Breathe EP
5 MP3 Songs
POP: 80''s Pop, ROCK: Modern Rock
Details:
Staying true to who they are and what they do, the April Skies refuse to compromise their sound or style to fit the current trends.
"The Breathe EP" - a 5 song CD of all new material produced by the band and engineer Mike Watert - released December 2003 - marks the first release by the April Skies since the mid 90s. Recorded in their own Maple Avenue Studios, this collection of songs was originally intended to be used as a promotional handout. But once the sessions progressed, the band quickly realized that some special was happening and that the recordings were worthy of more than a freebie handout.
Hailing from Hershey, Pennsylvania and comprised of original founding member Jake Crawford on guitars & vocals, bassist Mark Mazick, drummer Mark Tritico, and Mark Higgins on keyboards & vocals - this release features well crafted songs, solid performances and that original april skies sound.
Before the CD was officially released, copies of the songs "Breathe" and "Here Comes the Rush" quickly circulated locally around the central Pennsylvania area and became instant sing-a-long-songs at the shows. While the band did make an obvious attempt at releasing a more "rock" style release, they clearly refused to abandon their pop roots as displayed with songs like "Beautiful Girl", "Independence" and "Sleepyhead".
The April Skies still make their 80s & 90s English influences very obvious (The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Smiths, Elvis Costello). But "The Breathe EP" displays a band that uses its influences properly and then moves forward. "The Breathe EP" fits nicely into the catalog of releases by The April Skies. Great songs, great hooks, and an original sound that can be appreciated by all types of music lovers. Buy this release!
