So the Germans call English football fans Island Apes? I guess they don’t know about the punk band of the same name. ISLAND APES features a lineup of UK underground punk legends from bands like Meatfly, Force Fed, bivouac, and Fudge Tunnel, and Antony, the drummer, was Nirvana’s infamous dancer at their Live at Reading performance. Their new single “Stitt” is a wild, lo-fi trip into an alternate punk universe where they tame audio chaos and explore the psychedelic side of consciousness. It’s grungy and grimy, guttural and grating, and all in the most gorgeous way. Their debut S/T record is available on limited vinyl copies via God Unknown Records — pre-order it here. Right now, watch our premiere of their new video for “Stitt” below:
