The Apes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Apes emerged from Washington, DC in 1999. Defying all sub-genre labeling, their heavy-hitting sound pulls from many influences.

[edit] Description
Propelled by Erick Jackson's burning, fur-lined bass growls, Amanda Kleinman's horny and celestial banshee organ, and Jeff Schmid's iron-chest-of-cocaine drums, throat chieftain Breck Omar tattles methodically with mind throttling determination and relentless fervor. The Apes overdriven rock assault drives forward as tales of conquest, social alienation, and a perverse spiritual kinship with the universe become trance-inducing incantations.
The Apes music is raw, loud, and powerful.
