Emerging from the remote town of Ellon, Aberdeenshire in Scotland, APB manifested in 1979, carving a unique musical niche. Bridging funk rock, punk rock, and new wave, their sound was a rhythmic concoction that resonated through the post-punk landscape. Despite modest success, their sonic legacy reverberates through modern bands like Franz Ferdinand and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Early singles like "Chain Reaction" and "I'd Like To Shoot You Down" showcased their evolving style, finding unexpected acclaim in New York's underground dance scene, a testament to their enduring influence across the Atlantic.
