History
Members
Sam Cohen,
Jesse Gallagher, and
Jeremy Black originally met in
Boston, MA . Since then, they have recorded three full length albums and attained a large, widely diverse following of people all over the world.
The band released their first album
Katonah
in 2003 on SpinART records. The album was recorded in
Katonah, New York in a barn which the band converted into a studio, and produced by Andy Edelstein, a professor at Berklee College of Music. The first single, "
I Was on the Moon," was released in 2003.
The
New York Times as "bouncy 60's-style melodies crack wide open, breaking into outbursts of pummeling and feedback before jumping back into the tune. It's all neatly and cleverly plotted, but with a looming chaos that's anything but nostalgic."
The band released their second album
Apollo Sunshine
in 2005. In November 2005, it was named to the Amazon.com list at number 5 and the band was in
Rolling Stone as an "Artist to Watch". Additionally, several
Boston alternative weeklies declared Apollo Sunshine the best Boston band in their 2005 year-end issues.
Their third album, "Shall Noise Upon," was released on vinyl and as a digital download on August 5th, 2008. It was released on CD September 2, 2008.
