Sounds Like
Powerful energetic indie rock with a blend of blues, hardcore and Britpop. Result: a unique sound not dissimilar to Zeppelin, The Who, Chilli Peppers, Stone Roses and Kula Shaker combined – with Apollo’s own unmistakeable Midlands influence.
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.
It’s been far too long since I last said hello and so much has happened I thought it about time we said did.
We’ve changed a lot, now we are an “UltraModern, post-electro rock, post-nu rave behemoth where Muse and Mansun meet a Massive Attack with Duran Duran pop sensibilities, louder guitars, and a stunning female front person/guitar virtuoso”, or so we have been told.
I’d love to know what you’ve been up to since we disappeared into the dark damp studio cave, let us know how it’s going, I’m always up for a chat! May your thoughts be Scarlet and your actions Blonde ;-) Dawn xx Scarlet/blonde
