Across Five Aprils (often shortened to A5A) was a post-hardcore band from Chattanooga, Tennessee. The band started in September 2001 and were signed to Victory Records. Their name was borrowed from the late Irene Hunt Novel based around the American Civil War. The band broke up in late 2008.

History

The band released its first album, A Tragedy In Progress in May 2003 on Indianola Records. Following the success of this release, they played shows with bands such as Underoath, My Chemical Romance, Norma Jean, Haste The Day, Atreyu and It Dies Today.

After some member changes, the band wrote and recorded their second release on Indianola, an EP entitled Living In The Moment. Shortly after the release of the EP, frontman Steve Taylor left the band and they picked up new frontman Brandon Mullins. They toured the US several times with bands such as The Banner, and then proceeded to write their second full length release, Collapse. Following the release of this album, the band went back on the road full time and in July 2007, the band was picked up by Victory Records.

Across Five Aprils released their Victory Records debut album, Life Underwater, on February 19, 2008. The album was recorded by producer Matt Goldman from Glow In The Dark Studios in Atlanta, Georgia^[1].

Break Up

On September 22, 2008, Across Five Aprils announced that they would be breaking up. They had a very short farewell tour in October and had their final farewell show in Chattanooga, TN on November 1.

Reunion and New Band

On October 14, 2010, the original line-up of Across Five Aprils announced two reunion shows in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Marietta, Georgia. The band is using the moniker A Tragedy in Progress as a homage from the debut album which they will be playing songs from, and also out of respect to the members that came after them. Additionally, they are releasing a four song EP titled "Going Down With The Ship" on Indianola Records on January 25, 2011.
