Biography

The eclectic British metal band Apartment 26 blends hard rock, drum 'n' bass, and rave elements into their aggressive sound. Before they released their debut album, Hallucinating, the quintet -- consisting of vocalist Biff, guitarist Jon Greasley, bassist Louis Cruden, keyboardist A.C. Huckvale, and drummer Kevin Temple -- issued an independent EP that they sold at their stint on OzzFest '99's second stage. The group also appeared on the soundtracks for Heavy Metal 2 and Mission Impossible 2, and had their music featured in the Playstation video game Gekido. Apartment 26 toured with System of a Down, Fu Manchu, Sevendust, Powerman 2000, and the Rollins Band around the time of Hallucinating's release in mid-2000. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Apartment 26 is an industrial rock band from Leamington Spa, England. They played Ozzfest in 1999 and split up in 2004. They worked with Tchad Blake, at Real World Studios, on their self-financed "Music For The Massive", having scrapped "Album 1.5" after 2 years of production. The result was a much tighter band, and looser "live" sound, captured by Blake by making the band perform live in the studio. After selling the finished record to Atlantic/Wea, the label shed half of its roster during a merge with Elektra Records, including Apartment 26. The single "Give Me More" was a minor Modern Rock hit in 2004.

Their name comes from David Lynch's Eraserhead, in which the character lives in Apartment 26. Vocalist Biff Butler is the son of Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler.
