Apple only released on album. They sound somewhere between The Beatles and Tomorrow. Every song has a style of its own. They can play the Blues as good as Savoy Brown as on "Rock Me Baby". They do Sgt Pepper type Psychedelia just throw in some blistering lead guitar somewhere that lies on a line between Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton and triangulate it with Steve Howe. And back it with a tight Rhythm section.

The most interesting song to me is "The Otherside" which seems like an anachronism. If I didn't know better I would guess the song was from the late 70s — if I heard the song not know when it was released. Being that it's a introspective and melancholy tune that would fit well along side songs released by bands e.g. The Motors or The Boomtown Rats during the late 70s.
