Abril is a Brazilian alternative rock band that emerged as a significant voice in the 'Emo-Gaucho' and broader Brazilian indie-rock scene of the 2000s. Based in Porto Alegre, the band features members with deep ties to the regional rock community, including Rodrigo Tavares (who later joined Fresno).
Their sound is a sophisticated evolution of melodic hardcore and pop-punk, leaning heavily into the 'emo' aesthetic of the era which prioritized lyrical introspection and dynamic song structures. The band's philosophy centers on translating internal, unspoken emotions into a sonic format, a concept they describe as turning silence into music. Their debut was produced by Rodrigo Deltoro and engineered by Glauco Minossi, lending it a high-fidelity sheen that helped them stand out among their peers. Critically, they are viewed as a bridge between the raw energy of the 90s underground and the more melodic, commercially viable alternative rock that dominated Brazilian airwaves in the mid-2000s. Their influence persists among fans of the 'melodic' movement in Brazil.
