Are We Ape?
Anyone who has listened to “Godzilla” with Blue Öyster Cult knows what a great song it is. When you hear it as the opening act, with downtuned guitars and a massive wall of sound, on a Fu Manchu concert, you just freak out! I was 30 years old when I saw them at KB in Malmö, but I acted like I was 17…
There is a good chance that Are We Ape also like Fu Manchu. Not that they are some kind of clones, but the sound with downtuned instruments and fuzzy guitar licks has similarities and is just as good.
It’s a kind of heavy rock that the band presents, but with cool riffs, good vocals and melodies, they do a really good job.
I don’t know why, but I have always thought that you have to be an American to make this kind of rock. Well then, now Are We Ape has proved me wrong about this,…unless they have migrated to Malmö from the States. :-)
Time to headbang to some of their tracks:
