" I keep playing Apollo tracks on my show because people just keep asking "what was that song you played" they are by far better than some artists these days and I will continue to play their music on my show" Martin Lowes – Alpha 103.2 fm “super-cool tunes with a magnificent stage presence” – glasswerk.co.uk “Lead vocalist Lee Picton delivered every song with utter conviction . Apollo’s MySpace page claims their live shows are ‘overflowing with euphoria and emotion’ and, to be honest, you can’t really argue with them. Get yourself along whenever these guys arrange their next gig”. Live Review The Bridge Newcastle – Shamzine “Their hooks, riffs and melodies are woven so intricately into their songs that you find yourself amazed before you even realise what you’ve heard.” Matt Dooner – Mononchrome Museum Review “Apollo are a solid band, well produced, honed to within an inch of perfection” New Noise – Review Apollo Biography Hailing from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Apollo is a powerful, brooding, menacing 5-piece powerhouse of an outfit. Evoking early U2, and carving out a style that is undoubtedly their own, they have rapidly built a reputation for faultless, breathtaking live shows. Fresh out of the studio with local producer Darren Hall they present “This Is My Town”, an 11 track debut album, brimming with confidence and precocious talent. Spearheaded by the enigmatic Picton brothers, “This Is My Town” eschews fashionable posturing and tired clichés, preferring a more classic approach to songwriting, involving melody and craft. The result is a wonderful, emotional record, ticking every box needed to become a future success that will please fans and critics alike.
