Apple of Discord
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.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
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.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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.
