Being independent and self-managing the band, Carla Gimeno (voice), Laia Alsina (electric guitar), and Laia Martí (bass) have released three albums and several EPs through which they have freely experimented with different sounds. They have gone through grunge, electronics, and rock until they reached a unique sound that blends light and dark elements, sometimes sensual and always elegant, with pop at its core.
With an overwhelming live performance and a chemistry that transcends the stage, they have toured Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria, have opened for great bands such as Warpaint, The Beach Boys, Nada Surf or Lola Marsh, and have performed at festivals such as The Great Escape, Reeperbahn Festival, Primavera Sound, Waves Vienna, Focus Wales, Vida or Sonorama Ribera.
The Crab Apples, with their wealth of experience, have become one of the most captivating bands in the Spanish music industry. In 2023 they were selected as one of the three Spanish projects by Keychange, a UK-based platform that advocates for equity in the music industry by providing tools and spaces to underrepresented female and gender-expansive artists.
In September, the band released their latest single "Sin ti" - a track that showcases their four-piece indie pop-rock sound and marks the beginning of a new era for the band: Un volantazo, their upcoming EP that will be released early in May. With minimal instrumentation - just their voice, guitar, bass, and drums - the band displays in this new EP an impressive sense of unity, power, and connection. The solid sound they've achieved is a statement to their confidence and ability to showcase their personality and strength without relying on unnecessary embellishments.
