FALLING
THROUGH
By Chris Lewis
APRIL
Every now and again you meet a group of
young musicians who truly have talent
and drive; gaining a following in North
Carolina, this alt-rock band, Falling
Through April will be one of the few to
change the landscape of rock for the
better for Carolinas and beyond. In the
midst of troublesome circumstances like
transmission explosions and previous
vocalists going M.I.A., managed to thrive
together and create some pretty amazing
music for fans to jam out to.
The band consists of Mikaela Salazar
(lead vocalist), Dan Candia (vocalist and
guitarist), Jim Siani (guitarist), Dave
Piontek (vocalist and bassist), Taylor
Foster (drummer/percussionist).The
power of music runs deep within their
veins! Dan?s family consists of many
well-traveled musicians, and his father
was a guitarist himself. Taylor?s father
was also a drummer, and Jim?s passion
for music began at the young age of 13.
Dave started playing when he received
his first guitar at 13 years old. Mikaela?s
love for singing came from listening to
singers Alanis Morrissette and Gwen
Stefani.
Although they all hail from different parts
of the ?States, Dan, Jim, Dave, and Taylor
found each other while playing in other
bands that were apart of Charlotte?s indie
rock scene. Once Mikaela joined in 2016,
the band felt complete and they went on
to release their first single together
called ?Desperate Measures? in
September of 2017. The song?s music
video premiered on Alternative Press and
debuted at #13 on the YouTube?s
Alternative Hotlist Playlist! The single is
playing in 3,800 Health Clubs worldwide,
and plays on shows such as MusicMix
