Fight Like Apes

PRESS RELEASE Fight Like Apes – www.myspace.com/fightlikeapesmusic What happens when four highly motivated couch potatoes trawl through the b-movie underworld in search of the purest of gold?... They Fight Like Apes! Hailing from Dublin, Ireland and weighing in at over 6 hundred pounds Fight Like Apes combine the Synth with the Sword in this heroic tale of anger, jealousy, greed and... goblins. With an emphasis on loutish vocals, brutish bass and digital distortion Fight Like Apes are highly trained, armed and considered extremely dangerous. Beginning towards the end of 2006 the band set out on a path of destruction across the venues of Ireland. Not really aiming for anything more than just having fun while playing music. In the months since they have exploded onto the Irish music scene. Turning heads both on and off stage everywhere they go. The roots of the band lie firmly in the world of quirky alternative music, superheroes like Pavement, Mclusky, Yo La Tengo and My Bloody Valentine are their idols. This of course doesn’t always come across in their home brew distorted Keyboard madness. The band’s lyrics can sometimes be lost, almost in translation, but much in the way Pavement, songs are written for the songwriter, and anyone who gets the idea behind them is already a fan. Already with a loyal and continually growing base of stalkers, Fight Like Apes release their debut EP ‘How Am I Supposed To Kill You When You Have All The Guns?’ through FIFA Records on May 18th. Until then they will continue to cause havoc across Ireland and the UK.
