The Apples in Stereo are the indie-rock flag wavers of sunny pop. Formed in 1993 in Denver, Colorado, the band consists of guitarist/vocalist (and Elephant 6 collective co-founder) Robert Schneider, guitarist John Hill, bassist Eric Allen, and drummer Hilarie Sidney. Together they have created a mesmerizing series of heavenly, effects-drenched, pop milkshakes. Their discography includes eight full-length recordings and mini-masterpieces such as the Let's Go! EP, a homage to the cartoon super-heroines, The Powerpuff Girls. The Apples are releasing their first album in five years, the pop triumph New Magnetic Wonder on February 6th, 2007 (Pre-order today! Receive the LP by Christmas! See link above for details). New Magnetic Wonder marks the debut album to be distributed on Elijah Wood’s new joint venture with Yep Roc, Simian Records (co-released and distributed via Yep Roc Records/Elephant 6/Redeye Distribution)

Y'all are one of our favoritest bands EVER! It was great to see ya again (FINALLY!) after 8 years. Don't be strangers! COME BACK SOON! And thanks again for such a fantastic show!
Thanks for the add, very nice music. I could hear the ELO, and Beatles influence, before I even read your page. Oh, and isn't you song "Energy" featured on some commercial right now, because I heard it somewhere, and I don't listen to much radio.
Thank you for an absolutely amazing show a couple nights ago in Dallas. The music was incredible and you are just about the nicest bunch of guys I could hope to meet.
I recently discovered you guys through Ulysses and I must say you guys are amazing. I bought both CD's of yours and love it. New Magnetic Wonder is my fav :)
