Welcome back to Band Class, a series where I aim to help international Korean music fans find their next favorite Korean band. Last time we met, JYP Entertainment's latest band, Xdinary Heroes.
This week we'll meet EighteenApril. EighteenApril is a five-member band that formed in 2011. According to the members their name comes from a clothes shop that was close to two of the member's college dorms. They wanted to form a band with a cool name but struggled until they spotted the clothes store coming back from a night of drinking.
