J. Jackson, lead singer and lyricist for ApologetiX here again. Here are the stories behind the songs on our 13th single of 2024: 

AIN’T TALKIN’ ‘BOUT FLUFF

Two Months Till Our Big Concert 

In case you missed our announcement in January, ApologetiX is booked to play what will be our first concert in almost seven years. We've gotten a tremendous response from fans all over the United States and Canada who tell us they're planning to attend.
