Demo Review
" DAMN DIRTY APES (promo copy)
This band manages to produce one of the best live performances going, so I was worried that they could not recreate their stunning sound onto a CD.
I should not have worried as the quality shows through. DDA are a class act, and this three track demo does do them justice. DDA’s version of punk/rock/mayhem is still as good as ever. You cannot beat the live performances of these tracks but they are definitely a taster."

Gig Review
"DAMN DIRTY APES + LAST UNDER THE SUN + F**K HATE PROPAGANDA
+ HATEWORK at THE OLD RAILWAY - 28th September 2003
Battling slippery roads and brand new tyres I managed to avoid the nations finest taxi drivers to arrive at the Old Railway in one piece and quaff my Guinness far too quickly and sadly miss the first band on. Sorry HATEWORK. Fortunately I was able to get hold of a CD with a number of tracks by them on it, and damn good it is too, with 37 tracks by 6 different bands, you cannot go wrong. You can get one yourselves from Punk Sh*t Records. Entitled 'MIDDLEGROUND' it is well worth an e-mail to see how you can get your copy: [email protected]
DAMN DIRTY APES are adding new material to what is already a great set. Punk/hard rock, call it what you will but DAMN DIRTY APES are quality. Their performance as a band is exceptional and with the lead singer commanding the stage, demanding your attention it is difficult not to be drawn in. The tempo changes from fast to very fast to blistering with the vocals remaining clear and powerful throughout. Stunning drumming powers the sound without becoming overbearing yet at the same time you know you are listening to a rock band. DAMN DIRTY APES are excellent and will shortly have a CD available, so go see them and enjoy, then get a CD and take some quality home with you. Thanks to Simon for putting the gig on, keep the good stuff coming."
