I grew up on the border of Vermont and Quebec in NY State. I grew up listen to CHOM 97.7 in Montreal, got a ton of April Wine, Tragically Hip, Rush, Saga, Loverboy, Brian Adams and every other great Canadian band. I'm 55 now, live in Virginia and miss CHOM and WIZN out of Vermont.

Criminally underrated band here in the US. Saw them live at the Warfield way back in the early 80's with Loverboy; what a great show! Introduced them to my son-in-law who'd never heard of them; now he has all their records.
@T-ShirtMagic6 ай бұрын
America's loss was our gain - Canadian Rock Bands struggle to get gigs in the US through the 70s and 80s. Either they were too unknown or too good to open for American Headliners. First time hearing Loverboy was performing in our very small local pub on Vancouver Island.

Victoria, BC. Vancouver Island, Canada - caught their live arena rock shows twice annually all through the entire 80s decade. Grateful to have been in my *20s in the 80s* but regret taken all our Canadian rock talent for granted, usually too high to really appreciate them fully.

Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, they moved to Montreal, where they signed their first record deal and were primarily based out of there or Toronto for the rest of their career. They released 16 studio albums and 4 or 5 live albums. They toured in the US a bit as an opening act for acts such as The Stones, Rush, and Styx but only saw limited commercial success in the states, while in Canada they were regarded as stars.

Great reaction guys!! Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada is where April Wine calls home! These guys really know how to rock (and sing some great ballads too!) HIGHLY recommend an early 'hard' rock track called Weeping Widow if you want your socks blown off. Other musts: Sign Of The Gypsy Queen, Roller, This Could Be The Right One, Rock Myself To Sleep, I'm On Fire For You Baby, I Wouldn't Want To Lose Your Love and especially, Fast Train! Great 70's/80's rock! Cheers!

You know your WINE bruh! This brings back such an innocence. Motown Love and Rock and Roll harmony. It was all good. April Wine could definitely hit the heavy jams too. "Roller" probably to my memory was the song that raised the roof at parties and bars in college. One of the best party rock songs ever really.

@@EchoesDaBear All great music brings the brotherly love ... And sisters too. Back then the agents targeted males because we had the jobs. But those concerts would have women everywhere back then if they had their own money. I do remember April Wine brought in more women than Rush. Even Alex, Geddy and Neil joked about it their whole careers!!! But it was simply guys mostly had the extra spending money.

April Wine was very big in Texas in the late 70s and the 80s. I moved to Atlanta in 90 and called the Rock station to request them. He said AW wasn't on their playlist, and even more he had never heard of them! And he wasn't a kid. It was their album rock station. I still think that was weird. Apparently AW just wasn't as big throughout the whole country as they were in TX. And they are Canadian, which I'm sure others have told you by now.

I stumbled across this band in the late 1970’s well into their careers. This whole album “Harder Faster” is really quite good along with the proceeding album “First Glance “ and the later one “Nature of the Beast” They came with a 3 guitar attack Myles Goodwyn lead vocals/ guitar Brian Greenway guitar/ lead vocals Gary Moffit guitar Steve Lang bass Jerry Mercer drums - Jerry’s drumming was always so good, I always dug the sound of his toms on his fills.

I'm old enough to remember when their covers of Bad Side of the Moon, and You Could Have Been a Lady were hits on the radio. And they had the cojones to take on 21st Century Schizoid Man. Also old enough to have see them live with Heart as their opening act. Watch the in studio version of I Like To Rock recorded at Le Studio in Morin Heights. Some of my other faves, Oowatanite, Tonight is a Wonderful Time to Fall in Love, Lady Run Lady Hide, and Like a Lover, Like a Song.
