“They are the NWA of Heavy Metal. I wouldn’t compare them to Korn, Limp Bizkit, or even the collaboration of Anthrax and Public Enemy (“Bring the Noise”). These guys are harder, rougher, and a lot more fun. They epitomize what I loved about late 1980’s/early 90’s West Coast Hip Hop/Rap scene. It’s all about their hood. Real stories, real lyrics, and a “F U…You Can’t Hold Me Down” attitude. When it comes to Rock - they go beyond it and they reach the “Heavy Metal” bar. I’ve seen tons of bands that fuse Hip Hop and Rock together. I like most of these bands. The Chimpz are unique and have created a new sub category under the massive tree of Rock. ”

“ TLR! Review Graphic The Chimpz - Who Can I Trust Hip Hop/Metal/Rock Unsigned Posted 3/16/12 6:21PM EST chimpzwcitcover.jpg The Chimpz deliver a rap/metal fusion album with more to it than just metal style instrumentation backing rapped lyrics... there's also a bit of punk to the lyrics. Seriously though, The Chimpz bring a solid sound out from fusing metal, rap and hip hop, punk, and hard rock with a party edge together. Don't get the wrong idea with the above descriptives, The Chimpz are not LMAFO; they're much better. Also don't mistake the titles and subject matter for a no fun sound; the band gets you rocking out to their songs fast. But the message in some of their lyrics are very powerful and positive... but not preachy or holier than thou about it! The Chimpz ride a fine line of rocking fun sound and songs with meaning and purpose, even at their most serious you're going to enjoy their music. . ”

"High energy LA punk band "The Chimpz" mix punk, metal and hip hop beats to raving audiences!! Burn one for the nation and join the Chimpz Nation!!!

— Brutal Mastah, No Cover Magazine

“Booking Agents, don't pass up the opportunity to have the Chimpz play at your club. It wont be long before they are selling out the biggest venues. They brought down the house in Tempe, Arizona on a Thursday. Great guys and awesome musicians. We see a hundred touring bands each year and it's our opinion that these guys have everything in place to be the next major rock stars! Thanks for the sold out show :-)”

— Victor and Mike Daniels, Big Fish Pub
