Eyedea Worx Presents Featured A-Side of the Month- You Me and Apollo
Are you familiar with the Fray, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, and the Lumineers? We love these bands, right? Colorado based bands that make it big are great because we get to listen to them on the radio and brag about them at the same time. What could be better?
Our February featured artist, You Me & Apollo, is nothing short of amazing and has all of the potential to be the next name in lights from the Mile High City. They are asking for a little bit of help through crowdfunding to record and release a full-length album at the end of this month. With only 21 days left to raise some serious cash, we thought it might be a good time to introduce you to them.
Warm and fuzzy is the first thought that comes to mind when listening to You Me & Apollo. Ring leader Brent Cowles draws you in with his passionate vocals that make you feel like you are hearing what maple syrup would sound like if it sang out loud. Not to mention the incredible harmonies on songs like “I don’t want to be loved” which add layers of depth (or more like pancakes if we are sticking to our food analogy theme).
You Me & Apollo create a vibe that takes a 30-something like me back to the days of MTV’s 120 minutes. I can practically see their video following Blind Melon’s “No Rain.” Even their photo sesh shows the band relaxing in their converse sneakers and thrift store plaid shirts on a beat up old couch like the one I had in my college apartment.
Unfortunately we can’t promote their upcoming shows because the band is packing up and traveling to Memphis to record what is sure to be the next played out disc in your CD player. Come on kids, jump on the bandwagon andsupport these local rockstars and help them record in the same studios that supported bad-asses like the White Stripes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bob Dylan. Let’s help them make their dreams come true…. Ok, break.
