apolitiq has again resurfaced after offering two EPs on streaming platforms reworking their ‘80s and ‘90s releases. Initially, the duo of William Hayden and Keith York released music and produced chaotic live performances. Original compositions and cover songs were released on cassette, vinyl and CD compilations. Live performances mimicked the songcraft as erratic strobe lights matched flammable ignitions atop stage sets created uniquely prior to each show as the band and its collaborators culled junkyards and alleyways near each venue. Assaulting themselves and audience members, apolitiq performances saw an abundance of paint spray, hammers striking through television sets, sparks flying from grinded rusting oil drums and blood. Shows rarely ended without injury. 

Following a spate of live performances in support of apolitiq bass player Jeff Browning’s debut in Night of the Hunter the group is retooling its live show and readying new music.

apolitiq also appears on Meat Whiplash Collected/Contextualized – covering The Jesus and Mary Chain protégé’s “Eat me to the Core”.
