Apollos Thebe, are a five-piece up and coming band. They have somewhat of a dark electro pop sound but have their own originality as well. Since the end of 2008 this genre has come to light a lot. On their self-tilted E.P, there are eight outstanding tracks. Stawp and Voice of God (clear the throat) are good listens. My favourite song is Cape, the singers chilling voice and the uncanny conversational talk in the background is what makes this track amazing. In the song Amber you can hear influences from Thin Lizzy, but this is the only track I could compare with other bands. For songs that consist of vocals, guitar, the keyboard, cello and drums it can be very thin sounding, this may be due to the quality of the sound system they used or the fact they had a time frame of three days to record this. Also they tried interlinking some tracks but left gaps at the end when it changes into the next song. They might have to tighten that up for it to work. After listening to the E.P, I did a bit of research on them and was astounded to find out these lads are around 18 years of age. I thought they were much older. This definitely pushed the bar for me on the credibility of their music; if this is what theyre producing now, imagine what they could be sounding like in a few more years!
