As heard throughout their debut Atlantic album, Music for the Massive, all of these ground-breaking musical musings and brash rock and roll experimentations accomplish the net result of astounding the listener with their energy and unabashed sonic creativity... not bad for a bunch of lads still in their early 20s. What else would you expect from talented young musicians--vocalist Terence 'Biff' Butler, guitarist Jon Greasley, bassist Louis Macan, keyboardist Andy Huckvale and drummer Brad Booker-- who've been playing, thinking and dreaming music since the band's "core" members (Biff, Jon and Louis) first met as school chums at the tender age of 14. Since then it's been a series of fits-and-starts that has led this intriguing unit along their quixotic path of musical conquest. With each step along that path, Apartment 26 (the name taken from a David Lynch film... a constant source of both inspiration and perspiration for this talented unit) has expanded upon a skeletal structure drawn as much from the heady rhythms of jazz as the straight-ahead fury of contemporary rock. And as Biff (who by the way, is the proud son of Black Sabbath's legendary bassist Geezer Butler) is quick to explain, his band's notoriously unpredictable, and highly cerebral approach to their musical craft remains this band?s primary means of nurturing their "organic" sound. Their new album "Music for the massive" will be
