1.) Ape consists of ex-members from Disagree and Hurting Progress, two metal bands that split up in the late nineties.

Despite having deep roots in the Hardcore and Metal scene, this colorful Stockholm based band's musical expression reaches far beyond any specific genre. Each member has a long history of writing songs and performing on stage.

The creative rules are very simple: Anything goes, as long as it sounds good. "There are no limits for how heavy a guitar riff can be or how soft a melody can get as long as the music expresses what we want to say. We live for the music and the process of sharing it with anyone who might enjoy it."

Through their wide range of influences and by adding an intense punk rock feeling Ape breaks new ground in the rock scene. With sweet emotional vocals to growling screams of anger backed up by fat guitars, driving bass lines, innovative effects and brutal drums this quintet is on to something that might change the heavy underground music for ever. Naah... they really just love playing music and delivering those Ape tunes.

Ape:
Daniel - vocals
Peter - guitar
Oscar - bass
Pjorra - turntables & fx
Bobby - drums

Ape Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you ask, say your prayers
Last in line, donâ??t you care
Color-blind to what is fair
Wasted time, no time to spare
I want you now
I can't fall down
Last chance on the front line slowly fades
Last chance for that last dance is todayâ?¦ now

Walk in stride, face your fears
Pay your dues, that time is here
Bold to dream, and make it real
So damn close, so damn clear
I want you now
I can't fall down
Last chance on the front line slowly fades
Last chance for that last dance is todayâ?¦ now
I want you now
I can't fall down

So far from home
I bare my soul
