The Apple War

Luke Houglum (singer, multi-instrumentalist) and Ian Shuler (drummer, writer) met in Bellingham, WA, where they spent several years playing together and with good friends. Their love for Brit-rock and Motown culminated in heavy use of a free organ, tossed in with their player piano. Inspired by the rich, vintage sounds of the organ, they ditched the piano and headed to Seattle, where they joined forces with bassist Eric Sullivan and guitarist Nick Fulwiler.
