The Apers are a Dutch pop punk band who formed in Rotterdam in 1996.[1] They have released their albums on Stardumb Records, apart from the 2007 album Reanimate My Heart, which was released by Sonic Rendezvous Records in Europe, and Insubordination Records in the USA. They have played about 700 shows all over Europe and the USA. The band is often compared to Screeching Weasel, not lastly because of frontman Kevin Aper's snotty vocal delivery, reminiscent of Ben Weasel.[2][3][4][5]
