Extremely Grunge and brutal it makes one reminisce about mosh pits, patchouli oil and B.O. a passionate band,full of energy and raw instinct I fell in love with them immediately. Visions of stage diving and ratted,dirty hair come to mind when the song &#8220;ELVIRA&#8221; starts up!<\/p>\n<p>Rich guitars,heavy bass,dark drums,insane lyrics what more can one ask for in a post grunge\/progressive rock band? Then there is &#8220;Variation&#8221; the teaser I like to call it. It starts off slow,almost beautiful with nice, soft pristine vocals then starts up the heavy guitars once again then back down. Almost a manic depressive,moody song. Brilliant,gritty and edgy this band is one to check out and throw your deodorant at!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/alwaysaprilmusic\">myspace.com\/alwaysaprilmusic<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewermagazine.com\/always-april-stage-moves\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewermagazine.com\/always-april-set-list\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewermagazine.com\/always-april-charmain\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewermagazine.com\/always-april-shirt\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewermagazine.com\/always-april-mouth\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.reviewermagazine.com\/alwaysapril-kidgloves-cd-review.html ALwAyS ApRiL featuring THE MIGHTY CLAM!
