From
Charleston, SC, The Fire Apes' lead singer, songwriter,
and guitarist, John Seymour, often writes metaphorically about
love, and relationships using literary references, musically framed with
melodic hooks. His music and words can elicit feelings that range from joy
and happiness to commiseration and longing.
The feel of the music is
most commonly considered to be reminiscent of such bands as The Beatles,
Green Day, Oasis, The Kinks, and The Pretenders. The Fire Apes understand
what the British pop invasion was about and yet transcend the past and merge
it with the future. Following their debut CD, "A Perfect Day for
Bananafish", and their critically acclaimed sophomore effort, "Central Park
Carousel", The Fire Apes have recently completed a new self-titled EP. The
melody driven songs that have been the hallmark of The Fire Apes have become
a bit more edgy and contemporary.
Just saw a live performance of The Fire Apes with their new five member lineup. Even better than before! I predict big things are about to happen for them.
