It’s not all that often that I hear a band that labels themselves as new wave actually sound like new wave. White Apple Tree is one of those bands, conjuring up images of legwarmers and those color changing neon shirts. While they still retain the 80’s swagger of their brethren, they keep the energy up on their newest EP released earlier in November, Peach Hat. I’m not going to lie, but I think "Youth II" will be on heavy rotation on my car stereo, and I can recommend the same for the rest of you. Seriously, crank it up; it’s fine if you get some dirty looks from old people, they don’t know any better.
