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 ↴
Yeah (uh)
What that money do? (uh)
Money brings power (power, power)
And some envious feelings
I am a rebellious being
Do what I want
Propel to ceiling
I barely believe it
Nothings gon change I gotta leave it
Money the power love ain't needed
Slow pace breathing
Whole cake eating
Show case season
No face no case
No trace leaving
I been plotting you been scheming
It's misleading
Me and cash
Straight to bag I'm doing the dash
Sit back when I'm smashing gas
Fuck slow I'm addicted to fast
Slo mo these backwood smacks
I think that love is make believe
Something just to make you feel
Just a lil bit secure
Honest? yes I wish you were
Chronics make my vision blur
Time is ticking options finished
Weight of the world I'll still lift it
Passion rapping like I'm gifted
Need a mansion way I spit it
Need less talking show me action
But you can't
You look lost
You need a map
Making hits
And then recap
Take a trip
And then relax
With all shortcuts comes a catch
If your facts ain't confirmed
Mistake learned meeting adjourned
Money brings power
Money turn sour
Money they soul
Money devour
Money amounts
Money I got it
Money buy loud
Money the loudest
Money turn cold
Money the baddest
Money the status
Money the goal
Money make savage

No time for distraction
Money from work
Money pay bounty
Money pay fines
Money pay county
Money is evil
Money wreak havoc
Absolute money
Money in fashion
Money extensive
Money be bringing
Money the taste
Money expensive
Money on my mind
So Money so pensive
Money mistakes
I keep on regretting
Money the love
Money the baby
Money the bills
Money the thrills
Money the power
Money so cooling
Money like fanta
Money the gift
Like money from santa
Money the ammo
Money take shots
Money like Rambo
Money block hater
Like money Mutombo
Money I pass
Money like rondo
Money arriving
Money come pronto
Money may reek
So money rain shower
Money bring options
Working for money
I build money towers
Doing it all without
Superpowers
I do it because
My hunger devours
I work after hours
High on the clouds
I know it is ours
Plotting around cuz
Money the power
The song "Raw Power" by Apollo 440 is an ode to power itself, specifically the power that can be harnessed through the use of music. The lyrics repeat the phrases "raw power," "more power," and "foot to the floor power" as a way of reinforcing the idea that music has the ability to energize and motivate people. The line "like a bullet from a gun, you're on the run" suggests that the power of music can be overwhelming and can sweep people up in its momentum. The call to "rip it up" and "come on, come on" further emphasizes the idea of letting loose and giving oneself over to the ecstatic rush of music.
The song is structured around a fast and furious beat, with repeated snippets of spoken-word vocals emphasizing the sense of urgency and motion. The lyric "we got to give it all or nothing at all" can be interpreted as a lyrical manifesto, urging listeners to push themselves to their absolute limits and leave nothing on the table. Overall, the song is a celebration of the transformative power of music, and a call to arms for anyone who wants to be swept up in its raw power.
