APBTHE PRESS RELEASE
“If you were a dance-punk growing up on alternative radio (WLIR, WHTG) on the east coast in the mid to late 80’s, you remember Scotland’s APB. ‘Shoot You Down’ is as classic to most modern rockers in the tri-State area as anything from the Cure, Gang Of Four, New Order, or Wire. Their NYC shows at the Ritz are the stuff legend is made of. Let’s remind ourselves, however, that they are very much a cult classic, more underground than anything, and nearly obscure anywhere west of the Mississippi. Their only collection of singles on cd, 1989’s ‘Something To Believe In’ sold and went quickly out of print. Prices fetched as high as $200 on Ebay until recently when NYC label Young American re-issued it with a bonus disc.”

“APB’s brand of funked up pop dance has seemingly influenced bands like Franz Ferdinand, Hot Hot Heat, and more. So, it comes with great pride and perhaps a bit of surprise and awe that we can announce to you, the legendary APB are coming back to the States for a handful of intimate shows for their diehard fans in celebration of their recent re-issued recordings. And when we say intimate, we mean it, the venues are cozy! The core trio of Iain Slater, Glenn Roberts, and George Cheyne, will make a very rare and long awaited return this December.”
