Rotten Apples

About Me

.. Spearheaded by the unmistakeable powerhouse vocals of local music legend Dejha Colantuono this electrifying Rock 'n Roll outfit took form at the end of the 20th century in a small, rainy town in the Great Northwest....Seattle, Washington. The line-up of Rotten Apples reads as a Who's Who of female Rock n' Roll ass-kickers, featuring all-stars from bands such as Hell's Belles, New Fangs, The Flying Dutchmen, and The Apocolypsticks. Rotten Apples are sweet and street, bratty and bold, commanding your attention at every interval. Bridge the gap between all your favs from '77 and the quirky determination in '87, and layer it with a sultry rasp and simple harmonies... Ladies and Gentlemen...The Rotten Apples. Compared to the likes of Elastica, Blondie, The Muffs, and even The Jim Carroll Band their sound is timeless yet unique and all their own. Live the Rotten Apples deliver a one-two punch of straightforward melodies with an indescribable catch.Rotten Apples aint your little sisters NO DOUBT and its not your older sisters BLONDIE, either. This Seattle band creates musical noise that falls somewhere between your best rock n roll memories and your favorite pop/punk nightmares. Unlike the current army of post-Green Day combos, Rotten Apples aren't punk because they wanna be they're punk because thats the word that fits...so far. Undeniable in its dimension Rotten Apples music and live performance promises to deliver non-stop balls out fun! The flavor of Rotten Apples is both searing and sweet, like sucking on a candy coated razorblade. NEWS! Be sure to catch Rotten Apples on their second European tour in March and april 2007! Get your hands on the 7" of Snap Out import available at www.trash2001.de and full length import "Give You Mean" both available NOW!
