April Art release brand new single & music video ‘Panic Stations’

With “Panic Stations”, APRIL ART make an impressive return and usher in a new era. Following their successful album Rodeo (2024) as well as the standalone singles “Karma Is A Beach” and “Double Trouble”, the band now delivers the first glimpse of their upcoming album — uncompromising, powerful, and with a clear attitude.

Led by frontwoman Lisa-Marie Watz, APRIL ART stand for an explosive mix of heavy guitar-driven music with modern influences, breakdowns, and emotional intensity — combined with a strong message of self-determination and inner strength. “Panic Stations” picks up exactly where control ends and life begins to unfold on its own.

The band describes the song as follows:

“Panic Stations is about the fact that no matter how hard you try to keep everything under control, life has a way of ending up in the chaos you created yourself. It’s a mix of self-doubt, loss of control, and the urge to keep going anyway — ultimately realizing that chaos is simply part of who you are.”

Musically, the single combines heavy riffs, dynamic shifts, and the versatile, distinctive voice of Lisa-Marie Watz into a powerful, modern statement. The song was produced together with Julian Breucker, who is also responsible for its clear yet energetic sound aesthetic.

To mark this new era, April Art will embark on a major tour across Germany and Switzerland in autumn/winter 2026 — with special guest Dymytry Paradox:
