Well, we liked their first one quite a bit(still available) but "Tired of Style"? LOVE it, y`all! This release is a scorching assault of Pansey-divisions of sugar-coated guitar pop hooks, heavy riffed up bass lines, rich but bristling vocals and a constant undertow of swells of romantically nostalgic classic power pop. Our Kind Of Pop Diversion! They whip up a lather of super-upbeat, always catchy and tasteful power pop that reminds us of a lot of cool bands(Myracle Brah(Love Nut even), The Figgs, Rooney, Splitsville, The Undertones), while at the same time not sounding too much like any of them. It`s the best kind of mimicry, really. Inspired, influenced by cool sounding bands while retaining your own character. "Some musical conventions work for a band. Sure the power-pop thing has been done before, but it is always nice to see it done well by a new gang. If your guilty pleasures involve hooks, catches, poppy lyrics, and an appropriate touch of guitar wanker-dom you`ll definitely dig Ape House"-GoMetric. All the trademarks are present and accounted for - tasteful guitar work, sweet harmonies, witty, yet pooignant lyrics, booming bass and energetic drumming----but Ape House add the right, good looking wrinkles to the face lift of the hum-drum, an almost Ramones-like (in terms of attitude, not sound) intensity that results in a big `ole keeper. Yup, Extremely Highly Recommened.
