Album Notes

LONG SONGS ARE BORING.
Which is why Secret Apollo’s new album, Homemade Time Machine, is about as un-boring as it gets. The songs are short. And catchy. And they waste no time in kicking your ass. We like to call them "short songs by tall people" (because we're tall).

Half as long. Twice as catchy. You'd better learn how to use the "repeat" button.

MEET THE BAND.
It's nice to meet you. We are Secret Apollo and we are Amber (bass, vocals, milkshakes), Adam (vocals, guitar, Red Vines), and Steve (drums, Miller Lite).

Since 2004, we’ve been touring the world*, building up a long list of devoted fans and jealous enemies. Like most musicians, we don't like describing our music or comparing ourselves to other bands, because we are so amazingly original. But if bribed with candy, we could say we sound a little like the Pixies, a little like Pavement, and a little like Guided By Voices. Maybe.


PEOPLE THINK WE'RE COOL.
Why think for yourself? Here’s what others have had to say about our music:

"'Homemade Time Machine' is a freak-out punk extravaganza. But not your normal punk, but a power pop punk rock adventure. Catchy female vocals with male vocals harmonize with slightly nasal undertones that would fit perfect in that local garage band you’ve heard stories about. Upbeat songs that are quick and to the point with a sneering sense of humor drawn in."
Smother Magazine

“I was sort of anticipating The Pixies’ “Debaser” to break out of my speakers at any given second. The experimental mix of good ‘ol rock ‘n’ roll with harmonized duet that this three-piece produces is fun and exhilaratingly happy.”
San Diego Citybeat 2005 Demo Review

“Secret Apollo are brief, to the point, and musically charming in the process. Their song-writing, although concise, is fairly innovative and certainly polished. Their tunes are catchy, lyrics funny, and they have a good sense of humor about themselves.”
SDMusicMatters (www.sdmusicmatters.com)

“I [heart] Amber. Seriously.”
