Apartment 26 were an electronic/metal band from Leamington Spa, England. They played Ozzfest in 1999 and split up in 2004. They worked with Tchad Blake, at Real World Studios, on their self-financed "Music For The Massive", having scrapped "Album 1.5" after 2 years of production. The result was a much tighter band, and looser "live" sound, captured by Blake by making the band perform live in the studio. After selling the finished record to Atlantic/Wea the label shed half of its roster during a merge with Electra Records, including Apartment 26.
Their name comes from David Lynch's Eraserhead, in which the character lives in Apartment 26.
