White Ape EP ‘Kick It Down’ out now!
White Ape have released their second EP Kick It Down via Sotones.
Kick It Down is a return to the raw and subversive sound that slicked the streets of ‘70s London, with a deadpan humour and take no prisoners attitude that sees the band take on urban gentrification and highlights the creativity that blossoms in some of the more run down parts of the Capital. While the subjects they tackle may seem bleak, their guitar hooks, witty lyrics and sneering vocals add a sartorial elegance to their sound. Make no mistake, White Ape’s intense live performance loses nothing of its raw energy when committed to record, and this EP is the evidence.
The video for the EP title track premiered on The Vinyl District and you can now watch it on the Sotones YouTube channel.
You can also stream the track via White Ape's SoundCloud page.
With influences ranging from the words of H P Lovecraft to the sheer, unbridled experimentation of Captain Beefheart, Kick It Down presents a snap shot in the lives of four musicians with a flair for social commentary backed up by stripped down, rabble rousing rock. In these ‘interesting times’, their timing could’t be better.
Kick It Down is released via Sotones and available to buy digitally via the Sotones official website.
