FRIENDS OF APE WAR
EPK
TEN+ YEARS RUINING EARS
Gentle folks making gentle music. "Powerviolence," but we really dislike power and violence. Music for the adjacent weirdos who don't really fully fit in anywhere, and an aim to entertain you as hard af. Just want to share our love and hopefully get y'all through the week feeling decent.
Get a serving of grindcore, doom, thrash, crust punk, powerviolence, and hardcore, all in one set.
So if you like OFF! , D.R.I. Boris, and Napalm Death , you'll probably have a good time with us.
We've self-released three EPs on vinyl, as well as dropped two digital releases on Bandcamp. "WAR APE" was subsequently put out on cassette by Zegema Beach's Tomb Tree Tapes as their premier release, which sold out. We also have tracks on a couple compilations, one for Black Lab in Vancouver and another for SCUMTAPES out of Chicago.
We love y'all , take care ! xoxo
