Get our 2005 EP on iTunes! OR Buy the EP HERE! *Read reviews on the songs and CD HERE!

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 has produced a self-released 6 song EP in late 05 described in reviews as:

...a perfect wrangling of those middle two Blonde Redhead albums, the first couple of Radiohead records and a squeeze of Jawbox..."
-Boston's Weekly Dig: Humor, News, & Nightlife

"If Black Rebel Motorcycle Club shot up a lethal dose of speed and abandoned the country, Fugazi with higher ambitions...songs that engage and enthrall..."
-The Pill, www.thepillboston.com

After moving to NYC from Boston in Fall of 2006 the band promoted their 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 at Bank Row Recordings with Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr., J.Mascis, Free Kitten/Kim Gordon, Witch). The cd, titled A O, will be released in April 2008 on Brooklyn's Triple Down Records coinciding with their SXSW festival debut and tour of the eastern, southern, and midwest U.S. in March 2008.

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.
