Hope Is The Steel
Apple of Discord is Nelson Ciron, Nolan Ciron and James Cuartero. The music is an amalgam of indie-rock, soul, and sadcore with big guitars, a bangin' rhythm section, depressing lyrics sung by a very dour and uncool guy. The songs themselves recount tales of failure, betrayal, and love shot down a black hole. Comfortable with its trenchant unhipness, Apple's music won't immediately seduce you because it requires your empathy & compassion to make sense.
Do you play live?
We play in Philly, NJ and NYC. It really sucks, because people just don't care about our stupid little songs. We're not derivative enough for bars and we're not obscure enough for kids. Our most special moment last was when a room full of stoners kept yelling "f*ck you" at us.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's made so much more music available to people who want something more than what's handed to them on radio and MTV, it's made cross-country networking between bands that would have never met otherwise possible, it's an unbelievable promotional tool and as we speak, some kid in his bedroom in Nantucket will and write and record a song and have hundreds of people hear it without leaving his house. How cool is that?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Nope. We're too morose and not very cool. Lifehouse, Eve 6, Creed and all those angry white boy bands can sell way more records than us anyway.
Band History:
James met Nolan after a Velocity Girl show and they exchanged numbers. James said, "Dude, if you ever want to play some music together, give me a call", although he hardly ever uses the word "dude." That's pretty much it.
Your influences?
Sunny Day Real Estate, Mark Eitzel, Afghan Whigs, Death Cab for Cutie, Jonatha Brooke, Freedy Johnston, Dinosaur Jr., Al Green, you name it.
Favorite spot?
Anywhere but here.
Anything else...?
For God's sake, please buy our record. We're swimming in these things.
