April Wine was one of my first favourite bands...still listen to Electric Jewels.
They had some good tunes. Not just CanCon filler, as one DJ said.
They were one of the foundations of Canadian rock(not pop or folk). Before them it was only the Guess Who. Myles had a distinctive voice, when an April Wine song was played on the radio you immediately knew who it was. As a person who grew up in the 70's and early 80's they were definitely a part of my playlist. Thanks for the great music, Myles. RIP.
This song always gets me going.

Heard them so much on the radio as a child of the 70's and 80's. Good guitar rock. I remember when they sold out 2 nights at the Gardens. Then the next week Bob Seger did 3 nights.
That's alot of denim and Adidas....

I think April Wine is vastly underrated. They have a large number of songs that still bang, even today. Myles was super talented. It sucks he's gone!
