About Me

Howards Rock Apes were formed in 2004 by the bunch of pollitically incorrect westie piss-heads Louis (vocals) Nic (drums) Alan (ex-guitarist) Brendon (bass) and Josh (guitar). Their sound comes from a variety of influences which range from punk (70s-90s, none of this emo crap), ska, thrash, hardcore and a balls to the wall rock influence.
