I forgot how good these guys were, especially for their time. they wrote catchy songs with interesting off-timing parts and 3 guitars used pretty creatively, and had some hits with just good songwriting.

this is a good one - I Like To Rock - the cool tremelo picking on low E intro - the canadian studio with the windows and the forest right there - badass

I always liked April Wine. Not a fanboy by any means, but their radio tunes were always well written and well produced. Overall, pretty underrated.

Great songs, Myles was kind of a dick to us when we opened for them back in the day...

Jerry Mercer is a very underated rock drummer...Crash and Burn has a cool shuffle...

Looks like an LTD 88 to me. Excellent find, Joe.

Didn't they also have a song called, "If you see Kay"?

[lerxstcat]

Indeed they did! Saw it on Youtube the other day.

I dig April Wine quite a bit...

I Like to Rock

I Wanna Rock (more of a "fun"/humorous song)

Crash and Burn

Fun songs to play, just good hard rock stuff.

+1 Same opinion. I have one of there CDs.

[skorb]

yeah they were always kind of a peripheral band for me back in the day, and I was 16 in 1980 when they were apparently huge. I never got really into them, but you'd hear them in a friends basement and it was like - that's a good song. so I liked them but only on the periphery of stuff I really got into. I never got any of their albums.

now as a musician I can really appreciate what they were up to.

agreed.

All Over Town especially has a cool off timing snare beat.

[Robert Burns]

This one was way ahead of its time imo... awesome song! And one of the big reasons why i like delay in my signal.. influenced me big time!
