Formed: Portland, Oregon, USA

The rhythm section from an early incarnation of Poison Idea are the nice chaps behind Apt. 3G, whose odd name comes from a comic created in 1961 by psychiatrist Dr. Nicholas P. Dallis, which told the story of three working women living in New York. Or maybe it's a coincidence. God knows. Anyway, the band began life as Mule but had to change their name because the Detroit band Mule kicked up a fuss (which is more than the selfsame band did musically). Anwyay, Mule/Apartment 3G played fast but often melodic hardcore, and did it pretty well. Punk Machine sounds like a more disciplined, less crazed version of Poison Idea and stands up pretty well in its own right.
