Our Take

Oh, it's time to buckle up, because Fight Like Apes is about to take you on a wild ride with their self-titled album. Described as a "kaleidoscopic masterpiece" by some (okay, we totally made that up), this album is a rollercoaster of genre-defying madness that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music.

From the opening track, "Something Global," it's clear that Fight Like Apes are not here to play it safe. With their quirky lyrics and infectious energy, they manage to seamlessly blend punk, pop, and electronic elements into a sound that is uniquely their own.

Lead singer Mary-Kate Geraghty's vocals are equal parts haunting and exhilarating, effortlessly switching between delicate whispers and powerful screams. And let's not forget about the band's infectious energy—seriously, these guys could probably power a small city with the amount of electricity they bring to the stage.

Tracks like "Battlestations" and "Captain A-Bomb" showcase Fight Like Apes at their best, with their catchy hooks and frenetic energy leaving you wanting more. But don't let the upbeat tempo fool you—there's a dark undercurrent running through these songs, with themes of isolation and existential dread lurking just beneath the surface.

So, if you're looking for an album that will make you want to dance, laugh, and maybe even cry a little, then Fight Like Apes is the perfect choice. Just be prepared to have these songs stuck in your head for days (trust us, we speak from experience).
