Green Apple Quick Step
Forget everything you know, or
think you know, about Green Apple
quick Step. For that matter, forget
what you think a follow-up album
should sound like. With their second
LP, Green Apple Quick Step have
declared war on preconceptions, and
for good reason. In three years of
touring and recording, the band has
been through superior highs and
crushing lows. They've learned first
hand howto roll with both the punch
es and the flows.
The LP is called Reloaded, and
the title suggests a hard fought battle,
a smoking gun, and a quick re-charge
to get back into the action. “W e’re
reloaded in every sense of the word"
notes GAQS bassist Mari Anne
Braeden “we get to go out and assault
the public again, reloaded with a
bunch of new songs."

Greg llihn
Everyone knows Greg Kihn has
built a solid reputation as a power-
pop rock’n roller over the past two
decades with dance-in-the-aisles con
certs and huge international hits like
"Jeopardy." "the Breakup Song" and
“Lucky.” But few o f his fans realize
he started his career as a folk-singer,
which is why his new acoustic-ori
ented Mutiny album represents a re
turn to his roots.
“Rock'n'roll is always great fun,
but as this point it’s also nice to
present music where the melody is as
important as the beat and people can
really concentrate on the lyrics," says
Kihn.
After 14 previous albums, a tro
phy case full of BAMMIES, numer
ous videos on MTV and VH-I, ap
pearances on countless TV shows
including “Saturday Night Live,” a
song Bruce Springsteen wrote for
him, and a history o f puns. Greg
K ihn’s Mutiny (on Clean Cuts
Records) will catch quite a few lis
teners by surprise.
The album's eclectic acoustic
mix includes a sea chantey (Richard
Farina's "Blood Red Roses"), the
blues(“Sittin'on Top of the World"),
beautiful ballads and story songs(Eric
Von Schmidt's "Joshua Gone Bar
