Combining the style and poise of the Small Faces, the energy and DIY ethic of the Libertines and the tunes of Arthur Lee & Love, The Shake have proved themselves to be one of the hardest working bands around; - gigging relentlessly with very often just a single beat-up Rover as a means of transport, receiving airplay on XFM with their tracks 'All The Rage' and 'Troubled Scene', recording two EPs with Ed Deegan (Cribs and Holly Golightly producer) @ Gizzard Studios, London and sharing stages with high profile bands such as Thee Unstrung, The Greenhornes, Milburn and the Heights.

The band are picking up rave reviews wherever they gig and the fanbase is growing stronger by the day, their hardwork paid off when they were given the chance to release 'Troubled Scene' on limited edition 7" vinyl through Rowed out Records.

John McGrew (lead vocals, piano, trumpet, guitar) and Graham Fisk (drums, backing vocals) began performing together in 2006 as the two began to create a catalogue of songs that would evolve into Apollo Run’'s sound. Bassist Jeff Kerestes joined the band in 2007, completing the trio.

Apollo Run references Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits, and Arthur Lee, while throwing in some blues as well. Their sound also draws on more recent acts as varying as Beirut, Gogol Bordello, Muse, and Sufjan Stevens.
