Vicious Vicious is Actually Pretty Chill

By Chloe Rawlinson Local Music Journalist   Erik Applewick, a Minnesota native, has been making feel-good music since the mid-90s. Contrary to the band’s name, Applewick’s music is anything but.

After a little conversation with Applewick, I found that he is just as laidback as […]
