Indie rock band Island Apollo established themselves as one of LA’s hottest bands to watch. Combining a classic surf vibe with funky urban grooves, Island Apollo captures the spirit of a West Coast daydream come to life. With members from Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, Island Apollo is authentically Southern Californian and isn’t afraid to show it. After being named Orange County’s “Best Pop Artist” from the OC Music Awards, Island Apollo has had songs appear on FOX Sports, CBS, PBS, TeenNick, VH1, USA Network, and has even had a song appear in a commercial with 2017 Sports Illustrated cover model Kate Upton. Island Apollo have now released their new single ‘Hold it Down’ which was produced by Eric Lilavois (Saint Motel, Atlas Genius).

‘Hold it Down’ is a mighty blow to the head of richly textured full bodied indie pop. Smothered  in darker undertones this track gives us eerie spine chilling soundscapes cloaked in a bouncy pop exterior. Featuring upbeat funky strutting guitars, this track is sleek and groovy and infectiously catchy. Driving drumbeats and synth bass riffs add that spooky thrilling vibe while smooth layered vocals add a multi texture and delirious quality. Island Apollo demonstrate their unique thrilling sound all wrapped up in fine musicianship. These are ones to watch.
