Appleseed

More than one artist has used the name Appleseed : 1. Appleseed was formed in 2000 in Pozna?, Poland. From the very beginning their sounds were inspired by the greatest bands of 60's and 70's (Pink Floyd, Marillion, Yes, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash, The Doors), and "nowadays lights" of music (Archive, Aphex Twin, Future Sound of London, Mars Volta). Drewing from their roots, the musicians managed to create their own independent style, which goes beyond the concept of alternative and progressive rock.

In 2006 Appleseed recorded its first EP Broken Lifeforms. This wouldn't be possible without long-term members (Bartek Bak, Maciej Hoffman, Wojtek Deutschmann) and new people like a frontman Radek Grobelny or bass player Marcin Bany. It's worth mentioning that a woman - Natalia Brzozowska, who plays now with Pati Yang, is 'responsible for' bass guitar sounds on Appleseed EP.

The record had positive reviews in Poland and abroad as well. One of the tracks from the EP, Twin World was put on Thirty Something New Tales from PL/ PT - compilation of 26 bands from Poland and Portugal. The same song achieved great succes at Dekalog hot list being on the first place and no is still in Top 10 from beginnig (December 2006). From 2007 until now Appleseed playd almost 40 shows in country.

At the beginning of May 2007 Appleseed performed in the PiK Polish Radio's studio in Bydgoszcz. Thanks to the cooperation with Mr Drozdzik and the members of Polish Radio the performance was recorded and emitted. At the beginning of September the first official videoclip for the song from the EP - Lullaby was created. It was directed and mounted by the Pozna? group GLASSFOOT. Appleseed had the possibility to concert with many great artists such as Riverside, Snowman, George Dorn Screams and others. Right now, the band is in the process of releasing a single promoting the LP which is going to be recorded and published in the nearest future.
