The Apurna Project

The Apurna Project is an independent rock band from Charleston, West Virginia that writes songs deriving from multiple influences, such as emo, pop-punk, folk-punk, grunge, and even some metal!
Originally created around December 2018 by founder Nick McGrew on guitar/vocals, remaining mostly solo for 4 years with the exception of high school friend Mike Tremblay on guitar for a demo. Nick then ended up finding keyboardist/vocalist Allison Saunders and drummer/vocalist Justin Scalia around December of 2022. Mike Tremblay briefly returned on bass in 2023 for a couple shows before departing.
We released our first official single “Throne of Lies” in June of 2023, following with a couple double-singles such as “I Miss My Bed”/“You” that December, and “At Your Own Hands (The End Doesn’t Come)”/“Hummingbird” in May the following year.
In July 2024, we then release our indie debut album “Chasing Memories”, and embarked on a small East Coast - Midwest tour with our brother band, Pinky’s Brains.
