RIPPLE MUSIC is proud to announce the signing of acclaimed, hard-hitting American heavy rockers, APE MACHINE to their ever-expanding roster!
The band's third album, Mangled by the Machine, is set for worldwide release on RIPPLE MUSIC in the coming months as the band takes off to plow over the masses on a full-scale European Tour, including appearances in all the major heavy rock festivals. APE MACHINE commented yesterday upon the new alliance; "We are very excited to be a part of the Ripple family and to work with one of the most genuine heavy rock labels in the world! It's clear that these guys don't compromise in terms of putting out creative music and are true believers of heavy rock. The variety of bands and the sheer quality of music they've released speaks for itself. We're very honored that our music earned its place among their ranks!"

 "Blending equal parts rock 'n' roll, blues, stoner rock and psychedelia, Ape Machine is a band whose heart is steeped in the rich musical history of the late '60s and '70s. That doesn't mean they're some kind of hippie dippy throwback band. Ape Machine delivers their material with heavy metal muscle..." - Noisecreep.com |
APE MACHINE have established a
worldwide reputation with their effortless blending of Rock n' Roll,
Blues, Stoner-Rock, and Psychedelia. APE MACHINE is out to pound the
apathy out of otherwise jaded listeners with a wall of heavy Rock n'
Roll. The name APE MACHINE is a nod to the days of reel-to-reel magnetic
tape audio recording; a fitting moniker for the heavy-hitting quartet
as the band plays through vintage tube amplifiers and lays down its
songs using exclusively throwback quality studio equipment. With a
heady mix of animal aggression and technical precision, APE MACHINE's
music carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard since the time
of rock's glorious early years (or your Dad's bad ass record collection)
infused with an exceptional modern sensibility. When the mystical
lyrics of vocalist Caleb Heinze lock in with the band's stone-cold
groove, APE MACHINE demonstrates an earth-shaking ability to rock. A
true four-piece, the group has been called "a rock and roll band with a
finger on the pulse of the 70's and their asses firmly in the present"
and "real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation" that delivers "true
guts and glory rock and roll."
Keeping in line with their proud "retro" heritage, the new album, Mangled by the Machine,
was recorded on analog tape and is being pressed from analog lacquers
and plates, which will ensure the highest quality analog sound and
fidelity.
With a catalog of underground
releases, APE MACHINE has gained accolades, awards and a hard earned
cult-like status. They have established themselves as the go-to band
for those searching out more than just a few killer riffs; a foundation
of heavy that will flourish under the Ripple Music banner.
