The band, April's Motel Room, the CD Black 14. The CD was released durring the height of the Alternative "revolution" while acts like Ween and The Flamming Lips took center stage with foolish lyrics and a rehashed overused sound of the day. April's Motel Room must have been deemed, too intelligent, too creative, or not angry enough, because the rational behind the lack of support this CD received is not understandable. From the mass combination of sounds to the splashes of catchy yet intelligent lyrics this CD stands out as a winner.
The major drawback might just be the lyrics as they do have a heavy religious overtone though not nessesarily a straight forward meaning. In tracks like "Paper Courage" lyrics like 'I know Jesus was a wiseman but he held no ground with me' state what might be the force behind the band and had it been simple anger we'd all of loved it a couple years back but it was just a bit more complicated then accepted at the time. So check out April's Motel Room they just might surprise you or better yet make you stop and think.
