You’ll Never Guess Where Sweet Apple Got Their Name

There’s a whole back story to the band Sweet Apple, who’ve just signed to Tee Pee Records, involving vocalist/guitarist John Petkovic driving cross-country following his mother’s death and ending up in Vermont with Witch‘s Dave Sweetapple and J. Mascis (the latter also of Dinosaur Jr.), and while there, writing songs and starting a band. Tim Parnin of Cobra Verde also plays guitar, and try though I did with all my might, I couldn’t get their MySpace player to load any songs. So no, I have no idea what they sound like. But although they only may or may not actually be Obelisk relevant — and I’m putting my money on not — here’s some PR wire news about the band:

Red shirts on the end.?The result is Love and Desperation. The 12-song disc casts a wide net, reflecting the disparate sounds of all their bands:? catchy power-pop, crushing rock and wounded ballads.

Recorded in Cleveland and Massachusetts, Love and Desperation was mixed by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth and The Hold Steady) and Don Depew (Cobra Verde, Guided by Voices).

Sweet Apple is currently working on a video for the opening track, “Do You Remember,” a driving, rock anthem. The band plans to tour and perform at South by Southwest.
