Apostle Of Hustle — Eats Darkness

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) May 19, 2009 2:27 pm
It won't take more than one spin through Eats Darkness for listeners to realize this trio's 2007 disc, National Anthem Of Nowhere, was a sellout to what many refer to as "the Arts & Crafts sound." It was good, and it certainly had main composer Andrew Whiteman's flare lingering on its edges, but it sounded just a little too much like...

Apostle Of Hustle — U King EP

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) August 11, 2008 10:40 am
Apostle Of Hustle's last full-length, National Anthem Of Nowhere, consistently climaxed at moments when things went weird. It's for this reason that U King, an exclusive tour EP, is so frickin' great. With only six tracks, there isn't much room to move in many different directions, so the band mostly sway towards the strange by sampling Cuban...

By John Britton (CHARTattack) March 10, 2007 2:30 pm
Background/Composition: Andrew Whiteman (Broken Social Scene) started Apostle in 2001, and they've blossomed into a melodic, folky rock group with a good groove and a tasteful Latin feel. Grade: 95 Comment: Whiteman finally gets a chance to express himself the way he wants to. The BSS influence is prevalent, but this group have far...

Apostle Of Hustle — National Anthem Of Nowhere

By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) February 6, 2007 1:37 pm
While Andrew Whiteman might not get as much recognition as some other members of Broken Social Scene, the guitarist and singer might be the most talented guy in the lot. For three years, his band Apostle Of Hustle have been combining complex indie rock with Cuban flourishes, all coated in a BSS sheen. Canadian critics lost their shit over the band...

The new Apostle Of Hustle album, National Anthem Of Nowhere, doesn't appear in stores until next week, but that didn't seem to make a lick of difference at Wednesday night's Rivoli show — most in attendance knew every word of every song.

Apostle of Hustle — Folkloric Feel

By Brian Wong (CHARTattack) August 24, 2004 1:11 pm
Taking the accessible art-rock and experimental textures from his better-known band, Broken Social Scene, guitarist Andrew Whiteman enlists some of his fellow scenesters to craft what could have been a worthy follow-up to BSS’ You Forgot It In People. Folkloric Feel sounds as if Spanish gypsies have entered the scene, dancing all over this...

CHARTtrack: Apostle Of Hustle's "Eazy Speaks"

By CHARTattack Staff May 26, 2009 8:54 am
"Eazy Speaks" is from Apostle Of Hustle's recently released third album, Eats Darkness. It's got more in common with the Cuban-tinged folk of the band's 2004 Folkloric Feel debut than anything on 2007's National Anthem Of Nowhere.

There's some weird shit at the beginning of this album: a 30 second clip of a woman talking about snakes, with sounds of heels clicking down a hallway, sirens, cars screeching, a phone dialing, gun shots... annnnd then it settles into sounding like Andrew Whiteman, a.k.a. a lot of BBS-eque guitars.
