    Following three 7"s, Great Apes' debut full length, THREAD, will be released this fall on Asian Man Records. The lyrical and musical material on Thread was inspired by and pieced together from written conversations and interviews with close friends. The individuals who contributed spun narratives based on their own experiences and expressed their ideologies regarding subject matter they deemed important. Essentially, each song represents a different person.

lyrics

no vendetta on humanity

it's about making memories

choose action over normalcy

push progress bending boundaries

stagnate in redundancy 

the worthless goo of complacency 

change culled in rivalry

crass wrath evolutionary


species: a fluke in chance

If you ain't thrashin' with passion, why even dance?


brief and bland, life’s a killer

all shock, no flat-lined filler

I want it filthy, raw, and sweaty

with no value placed upon the petty



intelligence in tolerance

the royalty takes the least offense

the status quo captor enemy 

the taboo always sets me free



species: a fluke in chance

If you ain't thrashin' with passion, why even dance?

in consequence and raging glory, 

anything at all for the sake of story

about

Great Apes San Francisco, California

Insert hype-up descriptors here. Plain and simple, San Francisco's Great Apes are a lyrical punk band. Music, much like a bio, is often at its best when it’s spit out intensely and quickly, with concision and honesty.
