Press > BROTHER APE IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS AND RELEASES THE ALBUM “ON THE OTHER SIDE”

31 Jul 2011

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 16 June 2005 – Brother Ape is a band hailing from the southern parts of Stockholm, Sweden, and has been going for about 10 years. In the mid 90's they recorded demos for an album, but never released it. Over the years they started to build up their own recording studio at their rehearsal room (which they named "The Monkey Cave") and kept on recording new songs. In the beginning of the new century they released a couple of short demo albums, which was sold at concerts. Musically their sound is a unique blend of progressive rock and fusion with one foot in the more traditional progressive rock style with Saga, Yes, Rush and maybe also some A.C.T. influences, but at times chord changes are somewhat in the vein of 70's fusion bands such as Weather Report or Brand X, but performed with quite heavy, yet kind of sophisticated guitars rather than 70's keyboard sounds with the end result that an original yet accessible sound of their own is created. "On the other side" was released in Europe on March 28, 2005 and is now available in North America. Brother Ape was discovered and released in Europe by Swedish label “Progress Records”. Through a new partnership with ProgRock Records, this is the second of several artists on Progress that will be released in North America. ProgRock Records President, Shawn Gordon, had this to say about the continuing relationship: “I keep hearing more and more great music coming out of Sweden, it’s great to have a partner like Progress that makes it easy to bring to the North American audience.”. “Working with ProgRock Records is pure joy. These guys are totally professional and make thing's happen", said Progress Records President Hansi Cross. On The Other Side is the ProgRock Records debut release from Brother Ape. It is a milestone album for the progressive rock community, containing a unique blend of musical styles that are accessible to both the hardcore progressive rock fan and the general community of indie music-lovers. It is available for immediate order either directly from http://www.progrockrecords.com/shop/view.php?id=69 or your favorite retailer.
