There are two bands that share this name: 1. The April Skies - Bergen, Norway In the world of indie pop one worships ones idols as if they were gods, and The April Skies from Bergen, Norway are indie in the most positive meaning of the word.

The April Skies - Hershey, PA (Trademark owners) The April Skies are an indie/pop/rock band from Hershey, PA. Formed in 1988, the band takes their name from the classic Jesus and Mary Chain song.

The April Skies have been at it a long time and the longevity has paid off, they have shared the stage with some fantastic bands such as Live,
