After an epic wait following an incredibly successful Fund It campaign, Fight Like Apes have announced the release of their eponymous 3rd album. Due out on Alcopop! Records on 18 May. There’s no shortage of the band’s trademark snarling chorus lines, acerbic wit and MayKay’s sublime vocals to keep the long-term fans happy.
Fight Like Apes have always known their way around a bona fide radio hit and there are plenty of those on this album, with a handful of tracks jostling for position in line to be THE must-play of Spring 2015. Songs like Pretty Keen on Centrefolds, I Am Not A Merryman and Pop Itch lead the way. Even during the gentler moments though, hit potential resonates with every note (Carousel, The Hunk and the Funpalace), with huge melodic moments coursing from every juddering synth, tumbling beat and vocal refrain.
