Description
Scottish post-punk band APB nineteen track collection recorded for the BBC radio from 1981-84 featuring fifteen tracks previously unavailable
In 1979, APB was formed in the small rural town of Aberdeen, Scotland. Taking inspiration from the D.I.Y. ("Do It Yourself") spirit of punk rock, teenagers Iain Slater (singer, bassist), Glenn Roberts (guitar), and George Cheyne (drums) rehearsed relentlessly and signed with local independent Oily Records at the dawn of the 1980s.
The band's trademark post-punk dance rhythms were there from the start, with debut single "Shoot You Down" crackling with serrated guitar and Slater's native vocal inflections. APB was in lock step with similarly militaristic dance factions of the time -- Gang of Four, Au Pairs, Delta 5 -- but their own music was more celebratory and inclusive. Everyone was invited to an APB party. In 2018's Beastie Boy Book, band member Adam "Ad-Rock" Horowitz referred to "Shoot You Down" as a "punk dance-floor classic."
Over their 40 plus year career the Scottish post-punk band has released three studio albums and one singles compilation "Something to Believe In". The Radio 1 sessions compiles nineteen tracks recorded for the BBC radio featuring fifteen tracks never available on any APB recording.
The performances were recorded throughout 1981-84 on various radio shows hosted by legendary UK DJs, John Peel, David Jensen and Peter Powell.
