The band moved 1200 kilometres from their Maritimes home, without a gig to play or a place to stay. Led by a man who turned his personal tragedy into beautiful melodies, and p***y, rebellious anthems. The story of April Wine's climb to fame, and the album that set a new standard for Canadian bands, the first to go Double Platinum in their home country. And crazy tales from the early days of a growing national music biz. It's April Wine's "Stand Back". And tomorrow night, we'll hear it in its entirety on The Vinyl Vault with JC Douglas, who just found some of his autographed April Wine LP's!! And you can let JC know your thoughts on the album, right here. It's our weekly national listening party. Saturday at 6PM in Alberta and BC, Saturday at 9PM on the Q in the Maritimes, and Sunday at 11PM on K-Rock in Newfoundland.
