In September of 2002, began a vision that led to a new creation in the world of rock music. That creation became Apostolos. Apostolos is made up of five members that have brought forth each ones originality and musical influences to make a bold, passionate, high energy sound. The characteristics of the music Apostolos produces contains a mix of genres that would include some of the crazy off-beats of jazz to heavy hitting metal riffs to heart stopping ballads. All brought together for the distinctive Apostolos sound. The name Apostolos was chosen out of the Greek which means an ambassador, who not only carries a message, but also represents the sender.
The five members of Apostolos are: Paul Tuttle (Lead Vocals/Song Writer), Jeff Preziotti (Drums/Back Vocals/Song Writer), David Carraway (Bass Guitar/Back Vocals/Song Writer), Peter Whitford (Lead Guitar/Song Writer) and Drew Avera (Rhythm/Lead Guitar/Song Writer). Paul and David are the only two that knew each other before the formation of Apostolos from a past band during the high school years. The rest were hand picked by God. The relationships between the members are more than a band, but more like a brotherhood. This truth can be heard through the tightness in the music on and off stage. Apostolos has a strong reasoning for the work and dedication that goes beyond money and fame. With the talents we were blessed with, we want to go out into this world and give it back to the one who gave us our gifts and that is God, our Lord above. We are enjoying the steps to a professional level and making Apostolos a lifelong, full time career. We feel that we are called to bring people to peace that have "felt that way before" or have never experienced "the peace that surpasses all understanding" and to make todays generation politically aware of the destruction of American foundations.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows artist to be heard who otherwise might have never been heard without it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It would have to be the right deal. Bands think that once thier signed to a major label that they've got it made. Thats just a lie. The record company is only looking out for themselves and only gives the band a small fraction of thier record sales. The label really doesn't matter cause a band makes all of its money by touring and selling merch. So as long as the record company can provide certain things that will lead to the band being able to tour we would sign with them.
