1) Apollo was formed in 1969. They released one album, Apollo (1970). Their music was occasionally heavy and the band sounds like Led Zeppelin or Procol Harum, with little bit King Crimson in it. Members have been in other Finnish progressive projects.
2) Apollo was a post-hardcore/experimental rock band from North Bend/Coos Bay, Oregon, United States.
Bio of theirs from 2011:
"Beginning in early 2010, Apollo has gained recognition for becoming one of the rising artists in Oregon. Starting in the small town of North Bend, Apollo was publicized in local news papers and played on local radio stations, and now wants to further their reach on the West Coast. Their inspiration derived mainly from the early post-hardcore music and mixed with their early roots of jazz, has gained a reputation of being “an original sound”. The music being the main focus of the band was given a window of experimentation, grounded rhythmically with diverse bass and drums, along with coordinated ambient guitars and the voices of virtually every member in the band. Aided with the help of their front man Tyler Mansfield, Apollo self recorded their first album the “Apollo EP", which included six songs, and two instrumentals. After they had built an aesthetic, coining the Apollo “A” as their symbol, and releasing many self made design made by Sam Duell(Dead Sea Design), the band sought the business help of management. Having recently been taken in by Monolith Management the band hopes that their so far hard work will pay off in their next album that is currently untitled. The new album is, says the band, "better the anything we have written and will show our true colors."
Members:
Tyler Mansfield (Vocals)
Sam Duell (Guitar/Vocals)
Justin Sweet (Guitar)
Scott Mecum (Bass)
Anthony Hatzel (Drums/Vocals)
Luke Sanchez (Bass)
Chris Krajewski (Bass/Vocals)
Their full-length album 'We Must Be Feeling The Full Moon' was released in 2013, featured 11 songs and a much more unorthodox approach to writing, making it Apollo's first real full length album. Before this they released a self-titled EP in late 2010 and an EP in 2011 called 'Lighthouse'.
3) Apollo was fronted as one of the young and hopeful Norwegian hip-hop artists when he released his debut album. This was when Norwegian rap was relatively new (at least successfully) and many believed his flow would make Apollo the most successful in time. Unfortunately he waited many years before releasing his second album and never quite reached the top. His albums are considered good ones, though he didn't make the hall of fame. He's maybe biggest hit was the sample of Janicke "J-Diva"'s "Svake Mennesker".
4) Apollo is an alias of Megara vs. DJ Lee.
5) Apollo is a new Danish rock act from Copenhagen rising up from the underground. The band has just returned from Varispeed Studios in Sweden where they recorded the first half of their coming debut album. The second half will be recorded in April, and the album is due out in September '09. But in the meantime there is a limited edition EP - "Songs From the Night and Songs For Tonight" - that has been out since February '09.
5) Apollo is an alias of Luke Knight (We Were Ravens, Methuselah). Apollo releases tend to center around the construction of deep, spacious, and hypnotic drones and soundscapes.
6) Apollo Indie Dance / Post Punk band from Ballarat, Australia. They Began mid 2009 when two kids decided to constructively channel their boredom in the form of melodic sound. After a short period of time another two gentlemen were thrown in the mix, unearthing a distinct sound from which Apollo were born. Remaining hidden for the best part of their first year as a band, the Apollo team steadily brewed a unique mix of dance, post-punk & pop, as well as shooting the odd hoop or two. 2010 saw Apollo finally break out onto the local scene, turning a few heads with some demo tracks and a high energy live show. Now with some experience under their belt and some ambition in their heads Apollo have a long and winding path in front of them. Apollo were added to the Grovin the Moo festival line up in 2010, Bendigo leg and shared the stage with acts such as Silverchair, Tegan and Sara, Grinspoon, Spoon, Howl and many more.
7) APOLLO is a 21 year old singer/songwriter, born and raised in Long Island, NY. Heavily influenced by the sounds of pop and R&B music, APOLLO creates a sound that captures the experience of young, queer, Black man navigating romance, heartbreak and the fragility of one's ego.

Apollo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you find yourself in your bed of lies
You pay the price and you roll the dice
You only came here to pick this fight
And what you say, is not the same
It can only be trusted when you analyze
And how I play is not to blame
Oh the die is cast
Fire away
You've drawn your battle lines
And now we're worlds apart
Two lives, two hearts, two halves
This is the last, this is the last, this is the last
This is our final chance
To fix the world and we dance our fragile dance
It takes two to dance
But what if there's three
There's no guarantee
I'd still be here
Longing for you
So I withdraw
And leave you behind
Waiting for
Oh the die is cast
And I say ooh
Fire away
I said ooh
Fire away
No words can justify
No words can take my pride
No words can pacify
No words can take my pride
No words you've said your lies
No words can take my pride
This is for the best this is not a test
This is for the best this is not a test
This is for the best this is not a test
This is for the best this is not a test
You've drawn your battle lines
The song "Away" by Apollo is a love song that expresses the strong desire to be with someone and the fear of losing them. The first verse talks about how the person's presence is like being royalty and how time moves slowly without them. The singer questions if they can stay with the person because leaving them would cause him to complain, but he knows that this feeling of being enamoured with them is not a crime. The second verse continues with these questioning feelings and expresses wanting to see the person more often but also enquiring if it's too much to ask for. The singer also desires the attention of the person and wonders if they like his circle of friends.
The chorus repeats how much he misses the person and that he just doesn't see them enough. He wishes that he could have more moments to feel their skin and be close to them. The repetition of the chorus underlines the deep longing that the singer feels towards the person, who is possibly away for reasons not mentioned but likely a long-distance relationship.
The song speaks to the intense emotions of love and the longing for closeness with someone, even when distance or other obstacles might stand in the way. The overall melancholy feel of the song's music and lyrics evoke a sense of heartache and longing, making it relatable to those who have experienced being away from their loved ones.
