We finished the pre-tracking for the next record and have begun to work through each song and really put some time into making these songs explode. We have been working with our good friend Dave Hughes again on all of these new tracks and things are sounding amazing. Throughout April we will be in the studio to record the final version of the record. We don't have a title or a release date quite yet, but it's all soon to come. As soon as this new record is released we will be setting up dates all over and hitting the stage throughout spring and on into summer. Seriously anxious and excited about sharing all of these new songs with everyone. We can't wait to hit the stage and see all of you out on the road. So much more to come!

We had an insane time last night with a friends SOA & ALITA and all the crazy characters that showed up to get wild. Another crazy night of memories in the books! We just confirmed a deal with Props Visual (BMX video magazine) to get our music used on a BMX video DVD that will be inserted into the packaging for Finger Bikes. (Little BMX bike toys, look em up.) That means these DVDs will be in stores worldwide and included with the mini Finger Bikes. Pretty Excited! We have a few more shows coming up before the end of the year, check em out in the events section. Pre-tracking for the new record will start right after we wrap up this list of fall shows. Hope all is well, much love. AP-

Hello to our fellow music enthusiasts and open minded folk alike! It’s been one crazy holiday weekend. Between fireworks, friends and some ridiculously fun shows, we have been getting the most of the days in between the dreaded work week. We hope you all have had a lovely weekend as well! Thanks so much to everyone that came out to see us at the Taste of Chicago this year! This year was much cooler than the last and thankfully we didn’t melt. We had a great time and hope to be back once again next summer with tons of new music. Speaking of such, we have been brewing up some hot little numbers for you all and can’t wait to hit the studio with Dr. Hughes and Eric once again. So much in the works! The summer shows continue!!! Keep up with us on the events page to see where we will be all summer! That’s it for now, hope to see you all soon! Much love, the fellas at AP.

What's new you ask? We have been cranking out some new tunes and getting ready to pre-track the next record. We plan to be hitting the studio in late fall so look for new tunes shortly after. We are currently booking dates for the summer and early fall and you can expect to catch a glimpse of what's to come for our next release. Tomorrow night we are jamming with our hometown homies Short of All and A Light in the Attic in support of a friend of ours that will be leaving us to defend our motherland. So come on out and get rowdy with us at Howey's! You can get all the show info at our events page, check it out! Pretty excited for our show a couple weeks later at Chord on Blues with People on Trial and Aivatab. The venue is pretty damn cool and the sound is amazing so come on out and lets pack the joint! We will be throwing out some FREE t-shirts and copies of our most recent release "Live To Be..." so don't miss it! Well, that's it for now, catch you all on the flip side. Much love, enjoy spring!

Spring looks like it's pretty much here. Looking outside makes us excited for the summer! Plenty of cool things going on right now. We have a few shows coming up here in Oswego but for the most part we are laying low and getting some long overdue writing done. We have a good chunk of the next record written but are looking to have three times as many songs to choose from before it's all said and done. If you have been to the past few shows then you have heard a few of the new songs, just a little taste of what we have in store for you all. We plan to pre-record the entire record on our own to make our time in the studio flow and really give us more focus on getting a quality recording. We will be working with Dave Hughes and Eric Nelson once again and look forward to seeing how everything turns out. The Illinois Entertainer just published an album review for our latest release Live To Be.... you can check it out below. That's it for now, stay tuned! Thanks for all your support!
Chicago-based Absolutely Perfect describes its music as “nothing you have ever heard before, yet strangely familiar.” While this sounds like typical self-promotion, these guys have actually nailed it. The band’s second release, the Live To Be . . . , has it serving up six bowls of thick, chunky bass lines with sides of punk rhythms – a stew of influences like 311, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rise Against. The originality, however, comes via vocals, which are too emo to label hard rock but just angsty enough to avoid being written off as another emo band. – Carter Moss Illinois Entertainer

Busy busy these days! First off, happy holidays to you all. We have been in a writing frenzy and it doesn't look like there will be an end to it any time soon. So be ready for tons of new music at all the upcoming shows. Speaking of shows.... The Lodge date was axed due to the Bears game. Who says football fans don't want to rock? All the same, we will reschedule that show at some point here and we look forward to seeing you all. The entire Live To Be... EP is now up for FREE DOWNLOAD !! Yep, our holiday gift to you is all of the songs we have recorded to date, available free on the music page. So get over there and start clicking! St. Patty's Day at The Big Easy is booked and the countdown begins to an insane night! More info on that show soon! That's it for now! So much more to come, stay tuned!

Update time! We have been hard at work on some new songs for upcoming shows. As some of you may have noticed we had to cancel a few shows that were coming up. Randy is recovering from hernia surgery for a few weeks so that leaves us with some down time for shows. But we will of course be working on new songs and getting the new record up on ITunes during that time. Plenty of good things to come! Be on the look out for an announced CD Release show and listening party before to long. That's it for now. Stay tuned.
