White Ape 2011 - 2018: After 7 years we have decided to call it a day. Thanks for all your support. You can still buy and stream our records in all the usual places.

SOTONES10: Ten Years of Sotones, double VINYL album featuring Eat More Meat out now on Sotones Records.

“Too smart...their heads spin with ideas. Truly fab and ready for mass attention” - John Robb, Louder Than War

"Genius Lyrics and great vocal delivery. Thank God there are still bands telling it like it is" - Tom Robinson BBC6music

“raw and subversive...takes no prisoners”  - The Vinyl District

“superb journey of conundrum” - Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands

"tons of attitude and a DIY ethic embedded in their bones" - Artrocker

"Don’t forget your dancing feet as the scintillating reference points of ska, rock-a-billy and Morricone will sweep you on to the dance-floor." - Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands

"Just waiting for Quentin Tarantino to snap them up for one of his soundtracks" - Nick Tann, Is This Thing On?

"Marvellous little jocular but oft times intense garage combo wherein The Cramps, The Fall and The Minutemen get given a  wonky pop makeover to much effect."

"White Ape are causing a stir with the likes of Steve Lamacq – and it ain't stir crazeee. Their splice-the-mainbrace nautical approach to punk rocknroll has some swish rancid post punk elements, some Cave-ish quarters, a singer who sounds like Sean Ryder on a punky tip and the occasional foray into drrty cod reggae. But now rejigged with a little beat group classiness and some hot and frenzied songcraft, White Ape have really embraced their inner Sky Saxons..." - Bugbear Promotions

“Deranged twisted psych punk.... sounds like a bunch of tanked-up tarantulas dressed in dinner jackets tip-toeing down a dark alleyway. Welcome to the cult world of white ape...”  -  FEED YOUR HEAD

ABOUT (First person):
Manchester based composer and recordist. Lo-fi. Folk. Psych. Songs. Unusually long neck for a man my height...

Influences drawn from just about everywhere (though favourites include the album Forever Changes and anything written by Kurt Vonnegut). The common unifying threads are a twin lust for imagination and storytelling.

BIO (Third person):
Currently working on his fourth album; a double, potentially triple album… Granfalloon continues the work of his third album, Positive Songs, to focus more on traditional songwriting, and not quite traditional storytelling, to chisel out small, beautiful moments. It showcases this non-traditional storytelling with subject matter like... the meta-narrative approach to the dangers to you and the relationships around you that writing can have, expressing love through mathematical formulae, and 8 year old girls catching bees in Tupperware boxes, all with a heavy dose of Richard Lomax’s absurdism.
