German Heavy Blues Rockers Apewards Follow Up Their "Akrasia" Record with a New "Live" EP

 
Rock music tends to fall into the same rut. But APEWARDS? They're shaking things up. Instead of just reviving the 70s or cloning grunge's brief glory days, they twist the timeline into a pretzel and let the best of everything coexist: chunky riffs and irresistible melodies, all driven by relentless rhythms. Raw and unapologetic. That's APEWARDS—a stoner/blues rock band like no other.
 

 
What started as a hobby to balance everyday life quickly took on a life of its own. After two EPs and countless gigs (some even beyond Germany), their debut album, "Tales of Cloud Forest", was released in 2016. More EPs, a live album, and the next full-length LP "We the Living" followed in 2019.
 
In summer 2022, APEWARDS holed up in the unique RedRoof Loftsound studio with producer Matt Korr (Tiamat, Daily Thompson, Knights of the Realm). They recorded a completely analog album, direct-to-tape. The result? A sound that hums and breathes—you can almost hear the creaking beams of the recording room and feel the warmth of the glowing tubes. Musically, they refuse to be boxed in by genres. Each song is its own puzzle piece, tackling the big question: Why do we keep making decisions we know are wrong?
 

 
Their third studio album, "Akrasia", hit the shelves in May 2023, and the feedback has been stellar. Fully analog, of course. Noisolution took care of the promotion, spreading the word via radio, online, and print. The band's current tour is taking them all over Germany.
 
And there you have it, folks. APEWARDS is here to rock your world, one fat riff at a time. So plug in, turn up the volume, and let’s ride this wave together!
