TRACK REVIEW: Wingz of the Monkey – Ape Allegations EP

Punk rock, bred in the leather-clad, darkened basements of New York and academised by the existential poetry of Patti Smith can be found in the guttural and frustrated EP by Teesside newcomers Wingz Of The Monkey.

Ape Allegations omits a stirring and galvanic sound where their vocals are both the heartbeat and heart attack of their tracks, chorused by an explosion of angry drumming and frustrated yet cathartic guitar riffs. Formed in a mining village in East Cleveland, the band are set to premier their new EP at Stockton’s Georgian Theatre on 11th August. Bound to cause lyrical riot, it is expressed that the rock ‘n’ rollers will exude “punk antics and lyrics to shout back at!”
