Just click on the music link to the right to recive free a.P.A.t.T. MP3's
a.P.A.t.T.'s latest album entitled 'Black & White Mass' (Pickled Egg) is to set a new standard in home entertainment The album features some of a.P.A.t.T.'s most accessable compositions to date whilst still retaining an element of suprise.
Some bands are just damned impossible to classify: a.P.A.t.T. are a (usually) 6-peice amalgamation of all that has come before & all that will slowly catch up in the end. Beyond genre defying: every instrument and style you can think of, mashed up together in jaw-dropping live performances. The experimental and chaotic beeps, buzzes and blips of a.P.A.t.T., (described on the BBC Merseyside website as sounding like Frank Zappa having a fist fight with Mighty Mouse) have steadily built up a growing army of admirers. They were featured on the promotional video for Liverpool's Capital of Culture bid, and have recently staged a multi-media installation called 'Quartet', featuring four films projected whilst the band performed inside. As if this wasn't enough, they even found time to compose the incidental music for the BBC Radio Merseyside alternative music show, PMS.

Band History:
a.P.A.t.T. officially began with the completion of a full C90 minute cassette tape back in 1998. It was decided from the off-set that the way the music was formed on this tape (disjointed, non-specific, omni-style) was to influence the revolving multi-instrumentalist approach and dictate the 'anti-hierarchical' line-up of the act. It was not until 2002 and the introduction of digital recording techniques that a.P.A.t.T. were to make an 'official' release. Following several line-up changes, software changes, hardware changes, various support slots and a Dutch tour, a.P.A.t.T. teamed up with London label, Lowsley Sounds, to release their first full album, (L.P.) (2004). Although hopes were high for this release and it sold well, a.P.A.t.T. were never satisfied with the final outcome, wanting to push things further musically. 2006 saw more line-up changes and the continuation of the recordings for that "perfect album". To that end, "Black and White Mass" will be released on Pickled Egg Records in the late summer of 2007.
"Oh I don't know, there are no words for this. a.P.A.t.T are so easy to listen to when they really shouldn't be; it should just be a mess. Right now it�s some kind of minimal organic synth, and delicate singing of paradise and people coming to harm, or was it just a false alarm, as it all builds up so, so deliciously once more. Hey look, track one is called 'The Man Returns From HereAfter With a Future Flower': that really explains it all, a future flower. My CD player says there's 66 tracks, the CD cover says 8, I heard at least 103 (or maybe it was just one long piece?). They're a band, don't go thinking this is some wise-ass cut-up studio nerd; a whole gang of them in masks and anti-radiation suits or something like that. Hey look, if you want something challenging, something beautiful, something different, something violent, something soothing, something like you never heard before then this is where you need to go this week" SEAN ORGAN - Organ.com - Eclectic Music Magazine/webzine
"a.P.A.t.T. are a motherf***ing experience. Probably the only UK band i can think of to come up with their vision of the dark, vicious and f*** me, rather scary vision of the ACID PUNK dropped onto us from the visions of Gibby from the Butthole Surfers. We love them. You need to hear this. It�s insane" Alan Mcgee (Creation/Poptones)
