April Chase

April Chase is an alternative rock band from San Jose, California. While blending pop & rock influences (Paramore, Phoenix, My American Heart) with honest melodramatic lyrics, April Chase has set out to perfect their craft in pursuing a serious path within the music industry. Playing along such acts as The Higher (Epitaph Records), Story Of The Year (Epitaph Records), and over 60 shows in the last year, these are just humble beginnings for what is to come for this up and coming band.
While band members are at an average age of 20 years old, they have managed to release their first self-produced EP «In The Midst Of Sirens» on January 9th, 2010 in Cupertino, CA. Supporting My American Heart (Warcon Records) in their last bay area show & AJ Rafael (Youtube Sensation), the concert completely sold out through pre-sale tickets and door admissions. Since their first EP has been released, April Chase has gone on to shooting their first music video with Marco Bercasio (Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, E-40 & more) for the first song off of their new CD named «Turn It Down».
With Carina Valdes on vocals, Tim Ferguson and Mark Sahagun on guitar, Brian Walker on bass, and Lachlan Franckx on drums, April Chase strives to set themselves apart both as musicians and as people. If this band continues to progress at this pace strictly under self motivation, it will be phenomenal to see what the future holds for these dedicated musicians.
«April Chases introspective indie-rock melodies crescendo into dramatic climaxes. Were thrilled that this up and coming band is rocking at LCL. If April Chase is an indication of the up and coming sound rising in San Jose, were in for headphone-shaking years to come.» -Annie Hermes,Left Coast Live
