Upon first listen, the pop-rock crafted by Apollo, a Minneapolis-via-Brookfield male duo, is almost too cheery for its own good. On subsequent spins, however, Cellar Songs mixes the twosome's ebullient love odes with deeper philosophizing. The duo’s philosophies may be rather vague, but such ambiguity has minted good fortune for everyone from Led Zeppelin to Genesis. Apollo isn’t shy about serving up hooks aplenty, especially on the love ditties. Ultimately, their peculiar singularity and comforting familiarity could take them far. - Shepherd Express Review (Milwaukee)

Bio
apollo is a Minneapolis-based, College Centered, four-piece Regional rock band. Their most recent notable performances have been opening for Augustana at Northrop Auditorium Minneapolis in April, playing at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, being named the house band at St. Paul's Excel Energy Center arena for the Minnesota Swarm, and over the years, opening for Guster, Brett Dennen, and Matt Kearney at Summerfest in Milwaukee.
For those looking to up their indie cred, we like to consider ourselves alternative pop. Why? Because you can sing along but not feel so mainstream.
