Rock’n’roll has never been so alive, as Portland’s most exciting and hard-hitting riff merchants APE MACHINE are set to make heads turn again, with the imminent release of their fourth album on Heavy Psych Sounds. “Coalition Of The Unwilling” will land this November 20th in all good record stores. The name APE MACHINE is a nod to the days of reel-to-reel magnetic tape audio recording; a fitting moniker for the Portland heavy-hitting quartet as the band plays through vintage tube amplifiers and lays down its songs using exclusively throwback quality studio equipment. With a heady mix of animal aggression and technical precision, APE MACHINE‘s music carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard since the time of rock’s glorious early years (or your Dad’s bad ass record collection) infused with an exceptional modern sensibility. When the mystical lyrics of vocalist Caleb Heinze lock in with the band’s stone-cold groove, the band demonstrates an earth-shaking ability to rock. A true four-piece, the group has been called “a rock and roll band with a finger on the pulse of the 70’s and their asses firmly in the present” and “real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation” that delivers “true guts and glory rock and roll“. After the Portland foursome has established their rock supremacy with third album “Mangled By The Machine” in 2013 (Ripple Music) and several tours including a smashing performance at Freak Valley Festival in 2014, APE MACHINE are taking another great turn this year by signing on Italian powerhouse Heavy Psych Sounds for the release of their fourth full-length “Coalition Of The Unwilling”.
