The Band

Sonder Apologie started out by pure chance. Once called Loganhill with Louis Breedt on vocals and guitar, the band was light rock leaning alot on the Seether side of things. Later on Louis left the band for personal reasons and it was just Jaco, Hein and Chad....they decided to go heavy but with no vocalist and missing a rythm guitarist progress proved a shlep.....(NOT everyone is as good as Dimebag!)

4 months later the guys auditioned some musos and still hadnt found what they were looking for. Funny enough our vocalist Johan auditioned on guitar but nothing happened of it! lol! A few months passed and the next thing Johan and Hein were hanging out in the soundroom conversing and writing songs. Chad and Jaco got word that the two were "bonding" in a musical sense.( lol! ) and It wasnt long before Johans vision and drive caught on to the rest of the guys. With Johan now on vocals things started to gain momentum and it wasnt long before Johan introduced the band to Ettiene...now A.K.A Pretty Fingers. Whats awesome about Ettiene is his picknig speed on guitar and mixed with Heins natural ability to shred, the two guitarists form the core element of the band.

Sonder Apologie is no less than a year old. With an up and coming Ep and gigs coming up next year, the band is looking forward to the new year. Johan describes the sound as paartjie metal. Simply put, no one knows which genre the sound of Apologie falls into. Saying that, the band doesnt wish to be categorised. "You dont know what to expect with our music" comments Chad. "One minute its a feel good punk groove and the next its straight metal with the screams, down tuned guitars and double bass filling in." Fusing different styles is one of the ideals within everyone in the band. And shortly, on their upcoming Ep, this ideal will be showcased....
