The Word

Momentum continues to build behind April Smith and the Great Picture Show’s retro-pop new album, Songs For A Sinking Ship. The self released, fan-funded album has earned Smith high praise, with Paste magazine saying, “April Smith is quite the burlesque bad girl…. packing a sound full of sassy hooks and swinging rhythms.” Entertainment Weekly’s “Music Mix” blog noted her “intriguingly skewed lyrical sensibility,” and the New York Post’s PopWrap declared, “Adorable, quirky and the owner of a voice that could cure depression, April makes the world a better place. Period.” NPR Music proclaimed “April Smith was born to be an entertainer… She radiates sunny energy and stage-ready sauciness.”

Her music is like this: combine the dramatic presence of Freddie Mercury, melodic sweetness of Buckley, range and power of Ann Wilson, smoky sarcasm of Tom Waits, and the ornate imagination of Michel Gondry and you're getting close. Sounds good, we know. We call it vocally-driven-cinemelodic rock (for short). .. ..VOTED ONE OF DELI MAGAZINE'S TOP 5 BANDS OF NYC 2009.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. ..TOUR THE LOLLAPALOOZA TOUR GROUNDS WITH APRIL!.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..BILLBOARD UNDERGROUND!.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..SIGN UP FOR THE APRIL SMITH AND THE GREAT PICTURE SHOW STREET TEAM!....
