Appomattox have been stunning music freaks with their uniquely frenzied sound and sneaky-catchy songs since forming in late 03 both on cd and on stage...Led constantly to the edge by the ringing shout/stop singing and kinetic-spazz guitar tones of their sinewy frontman Nick Gaynier, the trio's shows have become mandatory for those who seek the cathartic scream-along and the pulsing wall of sound...Anchored by the sinister melodies of David Nurmi's growling bass guitar and propelled with metal/on/concrete bombast by James Mello's drumming, Appomattox released their full-length debut “A O” in April/May 2008 described in reviews as:

These three dudes are a straight up guitar band that rips through peppy power-chord songs with an underlining current of nicely-tempered spazz. I’m not exactly sure what these songs are about, nor do I exactly care. I just know that sometimes the band’s slightly-distorted choruses with the proper amount of feedback make me want to raise my fist in the air.
-Oh My Rockness, www.ohmyrockness.com

Appomattox are indie rock instant gratification. Fast, loud and awesome. Their tight, heavy, vigorous music, not laden down by too much instrumentation or showiness, has the kick-your-ass heaviness of favorite 90s bands like Fugazi and Shudder to Think yet with a sort of raw, aching quality to the vocals. It’s punk that’s not poppy, emo of the classic variety, indie rock that actually rocks” –The Deli Magazine (NYC)

After moving to NYC from Boston in Fall of 2006 the band promoted their 2006 ep with 2 tours of the US: one solo east coast/Midwest jaunt and one unforgettable west coast/northwest trip in support of San Francisco's own Low Red Land.

In October 07 Appomattox ventured into the woods of western Mass to record their debut full-length “A O” at Bank Row Recordings with Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr., J.Mascis, Free Kitten/Kim Gordon, Witch). “A O” was released in April/May 2008 on Brooklyn's Triple Down Records. They continue to tour the U.S. in the Summer and Fall of 2008 to support “A O.”

Other info- Appomattox is pronounced appuh-mattux.

December 06- CMJ/Sonicbids Spotlight Artist
2006 Boston Music Awards nominee- Best New Local Artist
Semi-finalist, 2006 WBCN Rumble

Those folks who listen to terrestrial [commercial] radio- specifically in the Boston area- can hear a couple of Appomattox tracks, Either Way and We're Alright, on 101.7 WFNX and 104.1 WBCN. Call up their local shows on Sunday nights and request 'em. Both stations also stream live on the net for everyone else.
