"Chicago-based indie pop quartet Purple Apple is made up of three 12-year-old girls and their 24 year old babysitter on drums… yes, seriously. Though young by any stretch of the imagination, the three 7th grade schoolmates at the core of the band – Olivia, Madi and Nonie – are wise beyond their years and nowhere does this show more than in their songwriting. While most of us were playing tag and trying out for the junior high cheerleading team at age 12, these girls spend their free time writing songs which fantastically capture the complex and sophisticated world around us through eyes not yet tarnished by the cynicism of adulthood." - Kurt Starnes
