Press Release: Hybernating Apes– The Awakening

"As the summer sun begins to set on Surf City, it’s the sound of the Hybernating Apes you want to hear ricochet off your car’s windscreen. It’s the energy you want to feel when you hit your first vodka Redbull. And its the raw sound of the Apes you hear when you get flashbacks embracing a smile from the party at the club the night before…

Durban natives, Mike Menzies and Brandon Hunt, have been jamming guitar together in their hometown coming on close to a decade but have only recently joined forces to form the Hybernating Apes. After 6 months of deliberating over hot words and cold beer, the album is complete andon sale on all the top websites and local surf shops. It’s laced with witty lyrics and memorable hooks; packed to the brim with hip-hop street cred and the perfect beats to start a party, making “The Awakening” as catchy as an air-born Asian flu.

Mike has taken it upon himself to learn the ways of D.I.Y recording and proven to be a genius at work, carving out beat after beat like a butcher hacking at meat. With the Apes’ singles being play-listed at some of Durban’s top nightclubs as well as having been played on one of Australia’s most prominent radio stations - TRIPLE J, it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the world gets a hold of this album.

So come home to the Hybernating Apes. And don’t forget to wipe your feet on the rhythm rug." - Jess Rogers, The Bandwagon
