April Art Rodeo LP (Red Vinyl)

Once more with attitude: April Art have set out to do nothing less than change the world. That may seem bold, true, but you know what: They have the songs to back this attitude. It's a modern metal sensation like no other, emerging from the underground and led by sparkling frontwoman Lisa-Marie Watz. In, fact, April Art have risen so rapidly in recent years that it could make you feel dizzy just by watching them. Now, however, the time has come for the big leap, for their breakthrough: their third album Rodeo unapologetically changes into the fast lane, speeding away from everyone else with huge hits, a brutal bite and peerless power.

Trigger warning: a German band hasn't sounded this explosive, this hungry, this insatiable for a very long time.

"Our music stands for hope," says the band. "We want to give strength and courage to believe in yourself and in life. The more people realize that they can take their lives into their own hands, the less room there is for hatred and envy."

April Art deliver this important message in the best possible way – with uplifting, electrifying, euphoric music somewhere between modern metal and alternative rock, an energizing brew with flavors ranging from pop to rap and electro. Everyone buckle up. And maybe it's better to wear a helmet. This is going to be wild!
