Apollo Ghosts is a Canadian indie rock Jangle-punk band formed in Nanaimo in 2009 and based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The original band was singer and guitarist Adrian Teacher, bassist Jason Oliver, and drummer Amanda Panda. Jarrett K (Jarrett Samson) later joined on Bass and Jason Oliver moved to second guitar. They reunited on January 20, 2019, with Teacher, Panda, Robbie Nall, and Luke N.[1][2]

History

[edit | edit source]

The group released their first album, Hastings Sunrise, in 2009.[3] That year, they also released the five-track EP Forgotten Triangle.[4]

They followed up with Mount Benson in 2010.[5] The latter album was a long-listed nominee for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize.[6] Also in 2010, they contributed seven songs to Cedar Street, a 13-track split with Divine Prophet and Thee Ahs.[7] They released a two-track EP with the band Role Mach[8] and, in 2011, the five-track EP Money Has No Heart.[9] The four-track For What They Do, They Do was also released in 2011.[10] Apollo Ghost's third album, Landmark, was released in May, 2012 on You've Changed Records.[11][12][13]

In 2013, the band announced that it was breaking up and that a May 10th show at Vancouver's Rickshaw Theatre would be their last.[14] But, in 2019, they reunited and released the album Living Memory.[15][16][17][18] They also played some concerts, including one with Calvin Johnson.[19]

In 2020, they released the 35-track Local Delivery Only, on which they performed covers of songs by 35 Vancouver artists.[20] The album was free to download and each time it was downloaded, the band donated $1 to DTES Response, a support collective which helps residents of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.[21]
