The Apples in Stereo is an American indie rock band associated with the innovative Elephant Six Collective, a group of bands also including Neutral Milk Hotel, of Montreal and The Olivia Tremor Control. The band is largely a product of lead vocalist/guitarist Robert Schneider, who writes the majority of the band's music and lyrics. Currently, The Apples in Stereo also includes longstanding members John Hill (rhythm guitar) and Eric Allen (bass), as well as new members Bill Doss (keyboards) and John Dufilho (drums).
They are best known for their bright, catchy lyrics and 60s pop/rock sound that often invokes comparisons to The Beatles, The Velvet Underground, The Beach Boys, and, with the release of New Magnetic Wonder, Electric Light Orchestra.

Band history

1991-1993: The Apples
In late 1991, Robert Schneider met Jim McIntyre on a commuter bus in Denver, Colorado.[1] Schneider had recently moved to Colorado from Ruston, Louisiana, and would often initiate daily conversations with McIntyre. When Schneider asked McIntyre what his music interests where, McIntyre named his favorite band: The Beach Boys — a band Schneider was particularly fond of. Realizing that they shared many musical interests, McIntyre introduced Schneider to Hilarie Sidney. McIntyre already had a band called Von Hemmling in which McIntyre played bass and Sidney played drums. With Schneider, they discussed the idea of starting a band and a perhaps a recording label. Schneider would later meet Chris Parfitt, who was also already in a band at the time.[1] Schneider and Parfitt would also become friends, however, and toyed with the idea of having a rock band similar to The Velvet Underground or Black Sabbath, with production qualities similar to that of The Beach Boys.[1]
Schneider would then spend two weeks in Athens, Georgia recording music and spending time with his childhood friends Will Cullen Hart, Bill Doss and Jeff Mangum. He discussed the idea of a starting record label with them (which would soon become The Elephant 6 Recording Company).[1] It was also at this time that the name "The Apples" came about, inspired by the Pink Floyd song "Apples and Oranges".[1]
The earliest incarnation of the band began to form in 1992 upon Schneider's return to Denver, first between Schneider and Parfitt, both of whom played guitar. The two would recruit McIntyre and Sidney during the autumn of that year, practicing material through the winter. Their first few live shows would take place the following January, many of which were with the band Felt Pilotes.[1] From February to April 1993, the band recorded their debut 7" EP, Tidal Wave, and released it in June as the first official Elephant 6 release.
