Bio

Born at the end of disco and the middle of rock n roll, when this one began to cry, god said jesus, shes got lungs. 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 youre getting close. sounds good, we know. we call it vocally-driven-cinemelodic rock for short.

The Word


"It's the kind of tune you'd hear on an episode of Grey's Anatomy or in the next iPod commercial. It's sweet (which we love), quirky (which we love) and hooky (which we love)." - Perez Hilton

"Between her Jeff Buckley-like vocal leaps to her quietest moments, [loveletterbombs] is bubbling with ideas and well executed melodic strength." - Nick Rose Pulse Weekly

"She just has an amazing intense voice. - Jeff Raspe, Music Director, WBJB 90.5 the Night

If you havent seen this band live, youre missing the boat kids. John Pfeiffer The Aquarian

Smiths voice is as flawless live as it is on the album Joe Hannan The Signal

"Take the songwriting strength of Tonya Donnelly (Belly), add the vocal sweetness of Nine Persson (The Cardigans). That's April Smith." Jared Midgen, Music Director WRSU 88.9 FM

"The songs, bare bones as they may be, smack of very early drafts of Radiohead tunes, smart and expressive." Kevin Keating - Origivation Magazine

"A voice that made it seem like you lived a lifetime within the 4 and-a-half minute song she just finished." Gary Wien - Award-winning journalist and publisher of Upstage Magazine

"a less-jaded Aimee Mann mixed with a more melodic Rainer Maria." David Parker Home News Tribune

Smith is soulful, with a doubt in fact, soulful may be the biggest understatement of the year when describing her. She is impassioned through every bone, artery, joint, blood vessel and vein in her body. Her music brings forth an upbeat, pop sound that will have everyone moving, for sure.
