Apartment 26 came out of Leamington Spa, England, with a heavy, grinding sound that sat where nu metal met industrial metal, all down-tuned lurch, mechanical rhythms and a singer, known simply as Biff, who could go from a mutter to a scream in a heartbeat. Louis Cruden played bass and Kevin Temple drums.
They got two albums out of the major labels. Hallucinating, on Hollywood Records in 2000, gave them "Basic Breakdown" and "Backwards", both of them thick with churning riffs and industrial clatter, and Music for the Massive followed on Atlantic Records in 2004 with "Give Me More", which is exactly as insistent as the title suggests. Atlantic dropped them, and the band called it a day late in 2004.
