I’ve always believed that, despite the limited vision and commercial constraints of the recording industry, there would always be an opportunity for exceptional artistry to emerge through the morass of mediocrity. Whether it be through word of mouth, or just spectacular good fortune, a truly inspired musical aggregation could sustain its existence and flourish by building upon a core audience and eventually break through to worldwide prominence.
Testing that supposition is Dapp Theory. Much like trying to pitch "Seinfeld" to a major network, the elements of this band are disparate at best. Yet, because of Andy Milne’s integrity and sheer brilliance in making those elements work, I believe Dapp Theory is the beginning of a sorely needed musical recrudescence.
As a musician and recording industry veteran, I was disturbed when I first encountered Dapp Theory’s music. Not only was I unable to figure out what the band was doing technically, I couldn’t classify their music in any existing category. But once I simply sat back, dispensed with my analysis and just listened, I was hooked.---Bobby Colomby
