Interview with Sonic from The Chimpz on Tattoo Music Lounge!

"VICTIM" is the first song off THE CHIMPZ latest EP "Who Can I Trust"!  Which was produced by Ryan Greene, whose worked with BAD RELIGION, NOFX, NO USE FOR A NAME, MEGADETH, and more great artists!  It's a very powerful track, combining explosive riffs, with melodic verses in The Chimpz style of mixing metal and Hip-Hop, including a very hooky chorus and a killer guitar solo!!

Victim

The explosive music of THE CHIMPZ was born and developed from their everyday struggles in the streets of Los Angeles. The band has just released their new single "California", following with a new self-titled EP to be released September 9th, 2014. Their songs are a Street savvy chronicle of their musical journey through the hustle and flow of life in LA, while always delivering a memorable hook.

The new EP was produced by Ryan Greene (Bad Religion, NOFX, Megadeth), who also helmed their previous release "Who Can I Trust".  This will be the band’s 4th commercial release.
