Velocity of Sound

Release Date: 
Tuesday, October 8, 2002
Artist: 
The Apples in Stereo
Star Rating: 
★★★★
Despite their perky moniker and arty rep, the Apples in Stereo are a surprisingly rockin’ outfit. Beneath their fuzzed-out recording style, head Apple Rob Schneider (not the ferretlike SNL alum) and company boast muscular chops that’ve helped make retro-rockers like the Hives all the rage. Churning out three-minute nuggets of ’60s-style punk (like the Carpenters-on-crank melodies of “Please” and the Beach Boys homage “She’s Telling Lies”), Velocity of Sound really moves.
