Action Packed Thrill Ride

Action Packed Thrill Ride is a Rock and Roll band from Denver, Colorado.



What the fine folks of printed media have to say about APTR:

"If you were picking a house band for your life, you would have to take a serious look at Action Packed Thrill Ride. The band has always outshone its Americana label and lately the designation feels completely unnecessary -- the new stuff is carefree rock and roll for the young and roadbound, simple songs and instrumental breakdowns you can hum along to. There's still just a touch of a honky-tonk past, enough to give the music a grounded feeling." - Kiernan Maletzky, Westword

A Looseleaf Script encompasses "ramshackle country-rock, primal hoedowns, and arrangements that aren't afraid to veer into dizzying dynamics and lopsided rhythms. There's tenderness, too, resting like lazy currents besides crazed country-punk meltdowns and skin-crawling weirdness. Unlike many current practitioners of Americana in Denver, APTR offers that rarest of treats: a surprise at almost every turn." - Jason Heller, The Onion A.V. Club



As the group finds its sound, its music is starting to really take off, which is to say that there are moments when the guys have layered enough parts together and built the song to the edge of a cliff and the downward drums fall away and the song floats through the air, unbridled. You will never regret having seen this band." - Kiernan Maletzky, Westword



"on the cutting edge of Gothic-Americana, with harmonies heralding back to the days of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.APTR is able to balance the bleak underworld of their Americana with persuasive percussion and vigorous violin, which lends to the contagious nature of the genre." - Jeremy Johnson - The Metropolitan
