Sitting in his record label boss’s kitchen surrounded by boxes of vinyl, Apollo Junction singer Jamie Williamson acknowledges that the build-up to Leeds band’s third album is fast gathering a head of steam.
However, he is cautious of getting too carried away by excited talk that the quintet might finally be about to breach the national top 40. As the boxes around him show, Apollo Junction are still very much a do-it-yourself concern, masterminded by the band themselves and a small group of helpers that includes Mick Carter, the founder of Guiseley-based Shed Load of Vinyl and their “fab” manager Neil Hargreaves.
“Then we also set a thing where we had to write together as much as possible, which slowed us down. Quite often we’d contribute separately. We’ve still done that, but we tried to sit down in collectives a lot more. Still things would come in individually, but we tried to make it be complete by us. Then we went into the studio and that took a while.” Williamson feels the band have grown into their own skin more with this record.
