History
The History of Apple Pie formed when singer Stephanie and guitarist Jerome played songs together and put them on the internet and began to get e-mails by labels and managers.[3] The two put an advert on Gumtree advertising to form a band, which drummer James responded too.[4] They auditioned him and accepted, and also got guitarist Aslam and bass player Kelly. When asked if their name was an American reference, Steph replied with
"No! Jerome and I didn’t think the music would come to anything and we were in our room just googling random things trying to come up with a list, the one that we were both attracted to was the History of Apple Pie, which had a ring to it and didn’t mean anything. We’re criticised a lot for the name but it’s something we never think about it – to us it’s not what should be at the forefront of a band’s worries!
They released their debut single "You're So Cool" on 19 June 2011, on 7" vinyl and as a digital download.[5] The next single was "Mallory" released on 27 November 2011, on vinyl and download. They began recording their first album in 2012, but scrapped the whole thing because they weren't happy with it. They re-recorded the album, and then released their third single "See You" in January 2013.[6] Their debut album Out of View was released in the UK on 28 January 2013 and 29 January 2013 in the US. On 3 March, they released their fourth single "Do It Wrong".[7] On 11 October, they released the non-album single "Don't You Wanna Be Mine".[8] They are currently working on their second album.
