APOAD
is an indie rock quartet hailing from the fine state of Arkansas,
proud home of Walmart Headquarters. Their repertoire is a catchy breed of melodic rock,
ranging from instrumental material ("Velocity of a Rotating
Helicopter Blade") to flat-out space rock ("The Hangar in
Observation"). For a four-song EP, this is a pretty solid
release - APOAD comes off as a less vocal-based Hopewell,
focusing more on the noise than the melody. This may mean a
limited audience, but those who clue in to the new sound could find
themselves quite swept away. Oh yes, and hats off to the near-perfect
"Hwy. 65 Church of Christ." This is where space rock
should be.
