Sounds Like
Quite diverse: been compared to Ed Kuepper, Turin Brakes, They Might Be Giants, Dexy's Midnight Runners, 70's arena rock like UFO, Kiss- so varies a fair bit from song to song :o)
APB happens to be my initials. Call me Betty .. I mean, Alan :o). I play acoustic/electric guitar and sing. I also have been known to dabble with bass guitar, mandolin and keys to a lesser extent.
I also compose, arrange and record myself (I have uploaded a video of my home studio)- occassional inviting in other willing internet artists I've met for lead & backing vocals and
other instruments, as well as doing a bit on other internet artists songs.
More songs can be found at: macjams and some downloadable from there too.
Now look who's here! And I have the honour to write the first comment. Welcome to the show, Alan. and BTW... my album is on it's way to Sweden. Should arrive middle of next week.
