I first heard the April Rain CD over a year ago, even before they were announced for PP. I thought it was good, loved "Control the Storm" but overall thought it was a bit too "pop" for me. As the fest drew nearer, I revisited the CD and it really started to grow on me and I was really looking forward to seeing them. I don't even think I can describe how good they were!

I saw a lot of great bands this weekend, this lineup was loaded, but the next day I couldn't get "Control the Storm" out of my head. The entire plane ride home and even today at work all I listened to was this CD. I really hope to see this band again, maybe Marco can get them on a US tour with Nightwish?
