April Wine is a Canadian rock band formed in Halifax, Nova Scotia (1969). Led by Myles Goodwyn, the group is known for guitar-driven hard rock and classic-rock hits from the 1970s and early 1980s.

From the reviews: Myles Goodwyn (vocals/guitar/primary songwriter) is central; Brian Greenway and Jerry Mercer are named contributors; reviewers note a three-guitar sound, strong live presence, and references to albums such as First Glance and The Nature Of The Beast. One review states the band released about twenty albums over forty-plus years.

Two DeBaser reviews praise April Wine's muscular, melodic hard rock and tight live performance. Reviewers highlight Myles Goodwyn's vocals, three-guitar attack and a no-frills stage presence. Key albums discussed include Live In London and First Glance.

For:Fans of 1970s-1980s classic and hard rock; listeners who appreciate live, guitar-driven performances.

 Rock'n'Roll when freed from all chains of commercialism, cheap self-celebration, and crude sonic violence becomes a rushing river of poetic energy, a three-chord melody—bass-guitar-drums, instrumental tour de forces: Rock isn't invented but recreated on the stage, on the fingers dancing over the wood, in the romantic vocal vibrations of Myles Goodwyn akin to Lou Gramm, among the old-style sticks of Jerry Mercer, in the rolling solos of Brian Greenway, never identifying with instrumental grandeur or a feast of megawatts.
