 Last Days of April prolific songwriter Karl Larsson has steered the band from frustrated emotional hardcore tunes to well-produced pop songs, without ever giving in to current fads and trends. With new release Might As Well Live, LDOA remains a reliable rock in the stormy waters of pop culture.
Might As Well Live fuses Larsson's long-evolved melodic craftsmanship and emotionally charged lyrics on the ups and downs of life with thick rock guitars. With its contagious chorus, the first single, "Who's On the Phone," is melodic power pop at its finest. The album is a production with the word airplay written all over it, and was produced by signed master-mind Pelle Gunnerfeldt (Grammy Award winning producer whose previous work includes The Hives and Sahara Hotnights).
During the past few years Last Days of April has spent a lot of time on the road, with up to a hundred live shows a year, including tours of Europe, Australia and Japan. They have played many major festivals such as Hultsfred, Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park, Livid and Southside/Hurricane, and have been on the road with major rock acts like Sportfreunde Stiller (Germany), Superjesus (Australia) and Fightstar (UK).
Might As Well Live will also put the band on the road in 2007, with extensive touring in Scandinavia and Europe immediately following the release (including opening for The Ataris in the UK in spring 2007). Shortly thereafter dates will be confirmed for Japan, Australia and their very first US tour.
The album title Might As Well Live is a statement, a decision that some things need to carry on, no matter what. Last Days of April is one of those things.
