Our Take

Dublin-based band Fight Like Apes have always been known for their eccentric and eclectic sound, and their latest album, "The Body Of Christ And The Legs Of Tina Turner", certainly does not disappoint in that department.

From the opening track, "I Am Not A Merryman", the listener is bombarded with a wall of synth-driven chaos that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Lead singer MayKay's vocals are equal parts angelic and ferocious, soaring over the cacophony of instrumentation like a banshee on a sugar high.

Tracks like "Crouching Bees" and "Indifferent" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres, incorporating elements of punk, electronica, and even a hint of metal into their already eclectic sound.

The standout track on the album, however, has to be "Jenny Kelly". With its infectious chorus and killer guitar riffs, it's impossible not to get swept up in the sheer energy of the song.

Overall, "The Body Of Christ And The Legs Of Tina Turner" is a wild, unpredictable ride that is sure to leave listeners both exhausted and exhilarated. Fight Like Apes have once again proven that they are not afraid to push boundaries and break new ground in the world of music. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare yourself for a musical journey unlike any other.
