An ever-evolving combination of melody and aggression since 2001, Across Five Aprils have remained constant in one self-defining ethos. The pursuit of creating impactful music as a group of friends has always been the driving force behind any endeavor the band undertook. Whether in the studio or crisscrossing the country on worn stretches of asphalt in support of a record, the bond they shared in creating music together carried them from one album, one member change, or from one tour to the next. That same bond eased the acceptance of the band’s decision to call it quits in 2008 and fueled its resurrection after a well-received reunion at Furnace Fest in 2021. Wherever the future takes Across Five Aprils, that same drive to create music, as a group of friends first, will most certainly lead the way.
