Alt-pop duo Waking April, based in Nashville, deliver synth-driven,

vocal-forward songs infused with lush, atmospheric textures and

rhythmically engaging arrangements. Their single “Rules” has been

well received on Triple A, college, and independent radio stations

nationwide, and was named Song of the Day by Austin’s KUTX

98.9, which praised the single’s “moody, alternative dreamscapes”

and highlighted the “drum-and-synth-driven elements” of the track.

Drawing frequent comparisons to Phantogram and CHVRCHES,

Waking April released their debut album Fear of Failure in late

2024 on Polychromatic Records. Produced by Mark Watrous (The

Shins, Raconteurs) the record showcases the duo’s emotionally rich

songwriting and immersive production style, marking their arrival as

a rising voice in both the indie-rock and alternative-pop landscapes.
