"Early Ape's songs pay homage to a time when rock was rock, a guitar was a guitar, and your garage was a musical mecca" (Adam G, The Deli NYC). But that time is now. After all, you can't be something you're not, even if what you are became extinct long ago. You may feel late to the party, but you're just Early to your own life. In their 3rd release, THIS HAPPENED, Early Ape invites listeners to ride the shimmering rainbow that flows from the gaping chasm in Life's face. "While micro-genres are steadily outnumbering actual bands playing music, this band makes it easy for critics by embracing the sounds of many pop-rock greats" (Adam G, the Deli NYC). Early Ape's music is in the vein of the great major-label rock hits and most loved rock music of the past 25 years, citing influences like Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters, The White Stripes, The Cure, and Nirvana. The band's fun, sincere 90's sensibility coupled with futuristic synths and relevant lyrics urges everyone to look into the frustration of life and say "yes" anyway. They can be heard on many radio stations including 88.5 WXPN, 93.3 WMMR, XPN2, 93.7 WSTW, and countless podcasts/internet/college radio stations across the country. Says Nate Rylan, songwriter and vocalist for the group, "THIS HAPPENED" is music for everyone, not the 5 people cool club or the faceless mass of 'tastemakers' with the biggest trust funds...Early Ape is for everyone because it's the real thing from the ground up." It's Pure Pop, Now People (Philadelphia Inquirer). "A sunrise is exceptionally beautiful for a reason. Catch Early Ape during theirs" (bitsandwatts.com).
