Description
In a world populated by 80s new-wave revivalists, A+P stands apart from the crowd. Featuring guitarist/vocalist, Alan Wilkis, and drummer, Pete Kennedy, A+P is a two-man band with a huge sound. Their full-length debut, "Rocks," is a sensitively-rendered work that refuses to be characterized by a single genre of music. Often playful, sometimes irreverent, always cool, A+P's songs are crafted with the utmost care and instilled with the greatest sincerity - but never at the price of ostentation or simple songwriting.
Go ahead, try it. Pop it in. You'll find yourself laughing at hipsters in no time ("Williamsburg"); exclaiming to yourself how you're responsible for your eating habits even though you're a great big fat person ("America"); sneering at those superficial bitches from high school ("The Most Beautiful Idiot"); or paying homage to the overlooked geniuses of the world ("Thoughts for the Unknowingly Bored").
"Rocks" makes full use of A+P's love for Zappa-esque wit, mid-'90s grunge-rock, electronic production values, non-saccharine balladry, and complex prog-rock song structures. They know what's behind them, and they want to build on it. Call "Rocks" pastiche; call it eclectic; call it whatever you like, as long as you listen to it.
A+P is about being yourself, and the music accordingly overflows with honesty, candor, humor, and love. With songs ranging in tone from playful sarcasm to whispered elegance, Rocks is at once emotionally engaging as well as, simply put, fun. But always underlying the thematic and instrumental variety of their debut album is A+P's obvious love for music and the joy they experience making and playing it. That sort of feeling is missing far too often from today's "it" bands, so let's agree on something - let's really start a new wave by spreading the word:
A+P = Rocks
