Biography

Taking musical cues from the American Music Club, Cursive and Sunny Day Real Estate, Southern New Jersey's Apple of Discord debuted in 1996. Originally known for their explosive arrangements and frenzied guitar, recent years have seen AOD put an effort into making music that's more about what they say than how they say it. Regardless of the volume, they're going to make music that's as honest as they can give to you. What Apple of Discord lacks in hipster cool or rock star looks, they make up for in energy, spirit and compassion.

Press
"My best friend Ron often says that you can't have joy without sorrow, that the two wildly contrasting emotional extremes go hand in hand. If there ever was an indie-rock band with a firm grounding in and sound comprehension of that particular principle, that band would have to be Apple of Discord ...Don't ever listen to it first thing in the morning because it could put you in a depressed funk that'll last the rest of the day. And that comment alone actually says a lot about how potent and effective this album truly is." Jersey Beat

"If you're into the older (and better, if you ask me!) Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World stuff with a tint more emo and a great strong vocal track, this is the disc for you. With truth-baring lyrics such as "My love won't breathe, she only chokes," how can you turn them away? It's all in the songwriting, friends. It's got character, and it can fill your void in the proper situation. The Cure is sad and melancholy, but did that ever steer anyone away? Nah, just eat it up for the metal you are to the magnet that pulls you." Delusions of Adequacy

"Apple of Discord conveys heartache and pain well, without becoming tedious or painful to listen to. It may be sad stuff, but it's listenable sad stuff -- a distinction, frankly, that we wish more bands would understand." Splendid
