Bio
”Refreshing, retro, reinvented,” Early Ape is inspired equally by the smart pop of Joe Jackson and Spoon and the contemporary rock sounds of Jimmy Eat World and Metric. Their music works to bring together the melodic sound of modern rock and the introspective lyrics popular in the singer/songwriter world (Origivation, Dec. 2010).

"Early Ape’s songs pay homage to a time when rock was rock, a guitar was a guitar, and your garage was a musical Mecca. 'We’re here in the vein of Nirvana,' Rylan explains. 'We’re not trying to be self-destructive, but we want to show people that three or four guys can get onstage and just destroy it.' This is a concept that gets lost a lot in modern music. When you think of the bands that are popular and selling loads of albums (Radiohead, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Phoenix, whatever), it’s no longer about bare-knuckles, sweaty, in-your-garage rock and roll. Bands now sound like what HAL 9000 would want to play as he careens through space. While Early Ape does use a synthesizer to add a bit of dimension to their tracks, they come off more like a Reggie and the Full Effect, or early Weezer recordings...Early Ape’s simplistic approach definitely has a place in modern music, and hopefully this will continue with their next, as yet untitled effort."
