   About Apollo

Apollo - Morning Son Live, at The Actress and Bishop

Live Apollo photography by Bianca Barrett www.myspace.com/livemusicphotography

Formed in February 2004 in a Tamworth suburban garage, Apollo have crammed a massive amount of gigs, recording and exposure into a short amount of time. They blend heavy rock, blues, pop and hardcore into their own unique sound with Sabbath-esque bass lines and meaty guitar licks. A strong undercurrent of raw energy, passion, sheer animal magnetism and pure natural talent permeates in their music; drawing in audiences and leaving them hungry for more. They are loud, melodic, tight and thoroughly entertaining, providing an unforgettable night out – nothing more, nothing less . . . Touring the West Midlands they’ve played in some of Brum’s finest venues from the illustrious Chestnuts, the infamous Dudley JBs, the renowned Actress & Bishop and top venue Bar Academy with more new gigs to come this year. They’ve knocked up a number of tasty CDs, appeared on Kerrang FM’s Breakfast Show with his radiophonic majesty Ugly Phil, reached the finals of the Nationwide Band Idol Competition and the Battle of the Bands at Tamworth’s Palace. Their music can be heard in The Killers documentary DVD soon to be released. Radio play in America has happened recently on WDYN Rochester NY and top English rock festival heats have been entered for 2007.

Hello and a slightly belated happy new year

I just thought I'd let you know that we have some great price deals on at the moment at the studio for our recording and mastering services. If your not sure about what we do I'll give you a brief update (for more details or to send us an enquiry please visit www.cosmicstudios.co.uk)
‘Cosmic Studios know that recordings are very important for artists and record labels. We also know that it can be very frustrating when you don't get the right results. Cosmic provide Professionally Produced Recordings in a relaxed and creative environment, with the minimum of fuss so that you are satisfied with the result.

We regularly work in conjunction with record labels having had several commercial releases to date produced by Cosmic Studios. This means that if you are an artist or a label you can be assured of our attention to detail both recording and mastering.

We realise that every client has different goals so we aim to be flexible and individually tailor recording and mastering packages to suit your needs.

Whether your project is a 3-Track Demo, Live Concert, Performing to backing tracks, Full Album, or any other recording project, Cosmic will call on our experience so that you can concentrate on your creativity whilst we help produce the sound you are looking for.

The Studio at Silence has a creative and artistic atmosphere which is located in the heart of the beautiful sprawling grounds of Trentham Lakes and Gardens Leisure Estate in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
