I got this new track by APTEKA and I’ve been selfishly keeping it to myself, just cause that’s the way I am, my darlings. And, I’ve also been hogging their debut EP Tour and playing it on a regular basis. Yes, I’m ready for my spanking now. 
And this music does make you want to be bad, very, very bad… if you get my drift. I’ve got no idea what they’re up to other than cooking up this new song, “Traitors” So I hope that means some new shows are on the horizon cause even though they are local boys, I’ve not had the chance to see them play! It’s described in places as shoegazy rock, but in places, I’m finding it more hard edged than that to my ears. Call it what you wish, it’s solid, guitar-heavy, cymbal clashing goodness. Enjoy! xoxo
Go pick up their record here

dare I say they remind me of one of my favorite bands BRMC?
Funny how regions of the country have their own sounds. Chicago rock bands do have a definite sound. Must be something in the water. They should have moved the pumpkins up their influences list on myspace, because I knew they were on there.
Ha! Yeah, there’s a Chicago thing goin on here. They’ve played with Sybris in the past which is where I’d put them musically, and omg what a show that would have been for me! Thanks for always being here, Andrew! xoxo
