Across Five Aprils is a melodic hardcore band from Chattanooga, Tennessee. The band started in September of 2001 and is currently signed to Victory Records. Their name is borrowed from the late Irene Hunt Novel based around the United States Civil War.

 

The band released its first album, "A Tragedy In Progress" in May of 2003 on Indianola Records. Following the success of this release, they played shows with bands such as Underoath, My Chemical Romance, Norma Jean, Haste The Day, Atreyu and It Dies Today.

 

After some member changes, the band wrote and recorded their second release on Indianola, an EP entitled "Living In The Moment". Shortly after the release of the EP, frontman Steve Taylor left the band and they picked up new frontman Brandon Mullins (formerly the vocalist for the band Embraced). They toured the US several times and then proceeded to write their second full length release, Collapse. Following the release of this album, the band was picked up in July 2007 by Victory Records.

Since then, the band has been on the road full time. They just completed their tour in Europe, which has been their most successful tour to date, and will be embarking on another US tour in summer 2007.
