Close To You, the new (radio) single from April Uprising has been released, check out the video clip:

Excellent stuff, loads of songs that we've never heard but can now imagine!

A great start for the April Uprising, debuting at No. 1 on the Australian Aria Charts on it’s first week. Lady GaGa has had 17 weeks in the chart and yet hasn’t managed to break No. 2, while Muse’s ‘Resistance’ sits nicely at No. 20, capping the Australian top 20 with 2 great albums about REVOLUTION.

April Uprising is the only 100% Independent self-funded and self-released album in the top 20 albums sold in Australia, released by Jarrah Records (their own label) and Metropolitan Groove Merchants.
The other albums all have major label support, UMA=Universal, SME=Sony, WAR=Warners, and one of the oldest of them all EMI.

"I wanna be Close To You" a short film from the studio sessions for April Uprising. Featuring the single "Close To You".

Staring:
John Butler - Guitar & Vocals
