Shades Apart can't be categorized under any one music genre, but their music
is a little bit of new wave, poppy stuff they listened to as early teens with
the energy and rougher guitar sound of punk. The band started touring between
the fall of '95 and the summer of '97 across the U.S. and Canada. They teamed
up with a string of independent record labels to distribute their propaganda,
most recently Revelation Records in California, known for its hardcore/punk
roster. After a brief jaunt in Europe in the fall of '97, they teamed up with
Universal Records.
