ABOUT THE APRIL SKIES

The April Skies is an alternative rock band from Hershey, Pennsylvania, known for blending melodic hooks, soaring guitars, and emotionally honest lyrics into a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh. Since forming in 1989, the band has built a loyal following across the East Coast and beyond through relentless DIY spirit, heartfelt songwriting, and powerful live performances.

Our Sound

Drawing influence from bands like The Cure, The Smiths, U2, REM, and so many more, The April Skies crafts songs that hit the heart as hard as they hit the speakers. From shimmering indie rock anthems to late-night introspective ballads, our music is equal parts emotion, atmosphere, and energy. It’s music for the dreamers, the misfits, and the romantics — with loud guitars and a pulse you can feel in your chest.

Who We Are

Fronted by lead singer and guitarist Jake Crawford, bassist Jason Leidich, and drummer Mitch Curry, The April Skies is a project built on connection — between bandmates, between artist and listener, and between the past and the present. The lineup may evolve, but the vision remains the same: write honest songs that matter, and play them like every note counts.
