Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Aris Paul!

You'd be hard-pressed to find another band that embodies Pittsburgh Rock and Southside Blues like APB...Aris, Aaron, and Matt refer to what they do as  "red-eyed, road rock" - and that's accurate. It's a culmination of fierce guitar, moving bass lines, and remarkably technical drumming that evoke bands of yesteryear while throwing in some jam-ish nuances. Their music has the gypsy soul of the Allman Bros., the blues swagger of Freddie King, the rowdy rock 'n' roll of the Stones, and the heavy metal roar of Hendrix and Sabbath. Spanning funk to country, hard rock to blues, APB puts on a rock show that has opened them up to the national spotlight and allowed them to tour the country and work alongside the likes of the Way-Down Wanderers, Joanna Shaw Taylor, Eric Sommers, Joshua Davis, Ally Venable, Raelyn Nelson (Willie Nelson's granddaughter), and many, many more.
