Eric Wood) “Cleveland Power Violence” is the sole full-length album from heavily lauded Midwestern maniacs APARTMENT 213. Sixteen songs in length, the album captures a perfect era in the band’s long-running career where their unique take on power violence and power electronics hit a sweet spot, all documented under the solid production skills of Cole “Slaw” Martinez at Conquistador Studios in 2006. Thematically, the band keeps entirely within their ultra-violent, serial-killer inspired focus, this time ramping up the intensity via contributions from Eric Wood (MAN IS THE BASTARD) and summoning singer Steven Meketa’s alter-ego LOCKWELD. While adhering to the ultra fast and ultra slow dichotomy of the genre (exemplified by their peers in SPAZZ, CROSSED OUT, DESPISE YOU, et al), APARTMENT 213 found a way to make it their own through hook or by crook. Long out of print, 2017 marks the first time that this album has been officially offered via all streaming and digital service provers worldwide.
