Apples

The band's sound is derived from the delicate vocal harmonies of the 1960s, with bands like The Beach Boys, to the golden era of the early 1980s, with the uplifting sounds of the artists associated with Postcard Records, right up to the 1990s, with all members being children of the Brit-Pop era. The band can take all these influences and create their own style of 'sunshine sound' that is relevant in 2010.

The 5-piece group hail from Hereford and came to prominence in 2009 with the release of their first single, Reason 45. Reason 45 managed to garner the band great attention from music industry, media and audiences alike, gaining them features in the NME, Q and Guardian, and comparing them to great acts such as the Beach Boys and Madness. This resulted in the band signing to Universal Music Publishing in the summer of 2009, enabling them to get to work on writing what will be the debut album. Theo, their current album, was released in the UK on April 26th through Popular Recordings and the band will be touring throughout the UK in the coming months.
