Hmmm.. hard to tell. The following bands have been namedropped (amongs others) in our reviews: Idlewind, Motorpsycho, Radiohead, The Byrds, Guided By Voices, Dipsomaniacs, The Kulta Beats, Astroburger, Beatles, Kinks, Yo La Tengo, Zombies, Sandy Denny, Bevis Frond, Aluminum Group (on Prozac), Apples In Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, Essex Green, New Pornographers. It's hard to classify I guess. Want an advise? Listen yrself. ;)
AqPop is a pop-rock-psych band based in Trondheim of Norway. A city also featuring mind-blowing bands like Dipsomaniacs, Motorpsycho, The Kulta Beats and Seid. Our music is influenced by both vintage and contemporary artists. References like Byrds, Guided By Voices or even Radiohead are often found in reviews of our records.
Some nice things they say about us:
"AqPop make some potently melodic and moving modern psychedelic pop" - Dream Magazine.
"Guided By Voices and Yo La Tengo come to mind. AqPop tempers their garage and pop-punk attack with a sense of experimentation and harmonic splendor that keeps things interesting to those reared in the poppier ways of The Kinks, The Velvet Underground, Zombies and other Elephant 6 demigods." - Foxy Digitalis.
"This is a strong and focused debut." - Luna Cafe
"It's never too early to get a summer album. This one is perfect for putting the top down (or ripping off the top with a cutting torch) and hitting the back roads. Don't forget to smile." - A&A (USA)
"Beautifully Smart does give you its best trio of songs in one convenient clump, among them the too-brief 'Beautifully Smart, She's Standing There', a crystalline hard-pop gem that is AqPop at its most appealing. Darker and harder on 'Relate That Something', AqPop begin to sound similar to Scottish favorites Idlewild, galloping guitar drama and all." - Stylus Magazine
"Beautifully Smart is a marvelous debut from AqPop thanks to their great musicianship and exceptional vocals." - Erasing Clouds
Our debut album, Beautifully Smart (2004)/, was released on 35g Records (Norway) and HHBTM (USA). During 2001-2002 we released three 7" EPs - records which got limited distribution and can be hard to track today.
