Fight Like Apes have just returned from SXSW in Texas, and they’re ready for more action, as it appears their long-awaited third album, which will be self-titled, is coming out on Alcopop! Records on May 15th.
‘Pretty Keen On Centerfolds’ got its first play on radio yesterday. The song first appeared as a demo a couple of years back. True to the band’s effervescent synth punk-pop style, the song is a bright three minutes with May Kay sounding at her best singing of Tubular Bells and Centrefolds but “no-one’s gonna love me for that”.
