"To hear a.P.A.t.T. or more specifically their ‘Black & White Mass’ full length is to experience a musical odyssey like no other, avoiding the usual pragmatics of pop, they are a law unto themselves dabbling in sounds.‘Black and White Mass’ is THE first crucial full length of the year somehow I don’t reckon it’ll be topped in our affections though be warned it’ll do your f**kin head in."
-Losing Today on 'Black & White mass'

a.P.A.t.T.'s last full album entitled 'Black & White Mass' (Pickled Egg) is from the very outer limits of what pop music can be whilst being filled-to-bursting with sheer entertainment value that earned it ‘Album of the Week’ on Radio 1. Plan B magazine commented,

"No frequency left unturned, no genre left unwrapped or ignored".

a.P.A.t.T.'s latest single entitled 'Martins' Quest' has had rave reviews and was BBC Radio 1's Huw Stephens tip for the week.

Another interesting quirk of fate fell upon a.P.A.t.T. recently; they have just finished working with BBC TV on a sitcom, starring Ralf Little and Johnny Vegas, entitled 'Massive'.a.P.A.t.T. of course play a hapless avant garde band. Ralf Little's character describes the band as "Shit".

a.P.A.t.T. are undeniably unique yet carry on a historical musical lineage that runs deep in U.K. music: Bands with big ideas!..The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Cardiacs, Radiohead, a.P.A.t.T. .

A Split 12" vinyl with Scoth Egg on Upset the Rhythmm, 'Ogadimma' a full length album on Chinchilla tone records and a film 'a.P.A.t.T. the Movie' to be released before 2009 is out, expect a few suprises from these Village Idiots
