Calling Apollo Online Interview

Hey all. Hope your week was good and that you are excited for this weekend. I'm kicking off the weekend with the band Calling Apollo. Here's a short interview with the boys that discuss how they formed and what they think their music sounds like: 

How did you guys meet one another? 

None of us knew each other before we became Calling Apollo. We had all been in different bands over the years but we were all after something a bit different. Kevin our guitarist placed an Ad online and and one by one we got in touch and tried out. They had already began to write as a four piece before I joined the band and when I heard the demo's they were producing I knew I had to be part this band. It was everything i was looking for. In early 2015 we parted ways with our original drummer and another ad went up online. Zak turned up and boom, it was lift off for Calling Apollo.

How was the band name created? 

Theres no real meaning behind the name other than I Love all things space and we found a good combination of words after throwing lots of suggestions into the hat.. At the end of it all the music makes the name.

How would you describe the music your band creates? 

Its always hard describing your own music but we've always said we combine catchy melodies, ambience and aggression. Past reviews have compared us to bands like Billy Talent, Coheed and Cambria and The Mars Volta.

What are some of the themes and messages that come across in your songs? 

I write songs about anything. It could be something ive seen in the news that day, or an encounter i've had with someone thats played on my mind. 

What are your plans for 2016? 

Our single Clone City, taken from the EP 'The Great Depression: Act I' , will be out on march 18th and then we aim to release the EP in mid July. We also be heading out on tour in August. More news on that will be announced in the next few weeks.
