Herefordshire based, JP, Norman Nouvelle, Pedro, Glenn and Greg make up Apples. A five piece with 80s pop band influences; though thankfully more Madness and Andy Partridge than the Adam Ant end of the spectrum.
Their debut single Reason 45 opens with a breezy blast of saxophone before bright casiotone sounding keyboard kicks in with the drums. As the hooks worms it's way into your brain, "You're the only reason that I'm still around at all" repeating over and over, it's easy to see why comparisons have been made with Vampire Weekend, they're just as uplifting and summery sounding. Whilst they're too young to have heard Haircut 100 and their ilk first time round, they've clearly done their homework.
Debut single Reason 45 is released on July 13.
