About Me

Shrewdness of Apes: 1:(noun, collective) a group of apes (including homo sapiens); 2:(nonsense) attributes associated with business acumen or negotiational skills, relating to or possessed by apes; 3:(noun, collective) Eclectic, loud, punk/grunge/alt; rock band from London. Line-up: Ollie (drums, vocals), Shannon (bass, vocals), Nick (guitar, vocals), Simon (lead vocals). Influences: Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Faith No More, Dead Kennedys.

Early 2004 saw the birth of Shrewdness of Apes - four noisy alt-rockers exploring the deep recesses of hard rock with respect and vision. Raging guitars and relentless drum beats - a perfect platform for angst-fuelled lyrics, wild and loud yet controlled and tuneful.

With fresh chemistry and focus they recorded the, Just Listen, demo and then launched themselves headfirst onto the gigging circuit.

Just one month later they debuted their emotional brand of dynamic hard rock at a Channel 4 Music Showcase and promptly stole the show. This quickly led to Shrewdness of Apes being commissioned by Channel 4 to supply the soundtrack to a new 24 episode snowboarding show, Skiing World Cup 2004/5, produced by Hothouse Productions. The first show aired on 21st November 2004 to great success.

2005 has seen Shrewdness of Apes release a long-awaited second demo (recorded and produced at southern studios) and continue to fill venues such as, The Comedy, The Carling Academy, The Barfly, The Water Rats, The Rhythm Factory, The Bull & Gate, The Metro and their incessant drive and work rate has assured their support has continued to grow. They now enjoy regular airplay on Total Rock Radio.
