The Crab Apples is the project of Carla Gimeno (voice ), Laia Alsina (electric guitar) , Mauro Cavallaro (drums) and Laia Martí ( low) , four youngsters Vallès Oriental . After more than three years of experience through competitions such as Sona9, where they achived semifinals, they presented their debut album "Right Here " released by Discmedi label.
During the last years they recorded some demos in the studio Bucbonera Records ( Caldes de Montbui ) , establishing a close relationship to the point of wanting to record their first album with producer Tomas Robisco owner of the studios. . The group has been seeking to find their own sound in the classic powerpop , with reference to the sound of bands like Teenage Fanclub, Sheryl Crow, REM and Fleetwood Mac . It is because of these disparate influences in addition to the ones of more modern groups that The Crab Apples essentially moves in pop, but also in other sounds like rock , indie or funk .
Right Here is a reflection of who the group is now , a transition from the first songsmore innocent innocent to the complicity and the energy that is displayed in their new creations. Although this transition , compositions and arrangements are kept simple without searching baroque work and being very direct , for example in the songs Just Aquí or Ocell. The main protagonist of the songs , however, are the elaborate melodies and therefore the voice .
With an unusual formation in the Catalan music scene and lyrics in Catalan and English , The Crab Apples appear underlining the growing female force on the stage of Catalonia.
