About Me


Add this shit to your page!
In September of 2004, five dudes and one chick came together with a common goal: making music to which people could bang their heads! We decided to blend all types of aggressive music together into one unfocused, messy sound rather than stifle our creativty by limiting ourselves to one or two genres.
And now we wanna play lots of shows! If you want to book us then you can IM Dutch at none so dutch. Or IM Emma at maatly crue. Or e-mail us at [email protected]. Or just leave us a message. Please book us!!
Demo 2K5 reviews:"The band plays a relatively eclectic mix of hardcore, grind, death metal, and doom, and I like what theyre doing. The Apparati, who come from Pennsylvania, dont seem interested in being tied down by one genre classification, and for this reason, they allow their sound to meander among the styles mentioned above. Check this band out if you get the chance; theres something for everyone in their style." - MetalReview.com 5/5/4.5 out of 6/6/6"Dabbling in as many subgenres as they have members (six give or take), The Apparati arent for those who prefer straightforwardness above all. I have a lot to say about Demo 2K5, even though its four songs last only nine minutes total, and Ill begin with generic praise by saying that this demo is way better than promising. If youre not averse to rapid, unpredictable style changes, then Pennsylvanias The Apparati should appease in one way or another." - UltimateMetal.com 8/10"Dutch, turn that dope music down! Why do you have to holler like that all of the time? You have such a nice voice. That music makes me want to hurt myself." - Dutch's mom.

ANOTHER NOTE: I only do the designs. I personally screenprint shirts for the Apparati, but that is only for our convenience.
