With their first new song of 2022 “Light Brigade,” Alternative Rock/Pop band Man Apart took a bold step forward. This pop-rock anthem will leave you stuck on repeat for a long time! The energy is so beautiful and the production is polished, smart and brought this record to a whole new level. We enjoyed listening to their stunning guitars and drums until the last second. The vocal melodies are catchy and the lyrics are original and beautifully written. This band is professional and their music is fresh, timeless and sets them apart from the crowd. This song is a great experience from start to finish! We hope you love it as much as we do!
ABOUT THE BAND:
What do you think of when you hear the words Indie or Alternative Rock/Pop? You may imagine dull hipster elitists, but think again! As a family-bred band that has been together since 2004, these veteran musicians love what they do and have developed an amazing on-stage chemistry. They pride themselves on giving their audiences an incredible high-energy, qualitative stage show that creates moments from start to finish.
Man Apart’s music is both fresh and timeless, featuring original sounds with lyrics centered around family, blood, faith and love and covering classic hit songs that everyone loves. When asked about their passion for music, they say “As family members, music is what binds us together and makes us relatable. We’ve had the ups, but we’ve had the downs, our music helps us share these messages of excitement, remorse, and encouragement.”
Phillip Kinsey and Caleb Roddy formed the group with high school friends in 2004. Shortly after, the band needed a drummer and Pepper Kinsey, a veteran drummer and Phillip’s dad, fit the bill.
The band gained popularity when Umcolisi Terrell, a brilliant saxophonist, joined the team. In 2007 they were featured as a finalist on the SHOUTFEST tour’s battle of the bands. This success led them to Nashville to showcase in front of a major label when they were profoundly struck with disappointment. They would consider the band but only if they had a younger drummer. A watershed moment occurred, industry or family. Man Apart chose family and have never regretted it since.
Man Apart continued to tour and released their third EP in 2010. Shortly thereafter they decided to take a hiatus to focus on building their individual families and careers. Umcolisi went on to an incredibly successful music career in Atlanta, GA. Phillip married Caleb’s sister and Caleb was married as well. Together, the band has six 6 beautiful children who are all musically inclined.
In 2019 Pepper brought Phillip and Caleb back together and they have been prolifically writing and performing ever since. In 2021 alone, they performed 42 times and hit the studio again!
In 2022, Man Apart will be releasing brand new music thanks to the amazing support from their fans (whom they like to call family) that will be sure to captivate you regardless of your demographic. It’s about Family. Blood. Faith. Love.
