2003 Biography[]
Marcus (drums), Kristoffer (bass/vocals) Ossian (guitar/vocals)
"Acid Ape has a sound that makes me think of Melvins, but unlike Melvins, I´ve yet to hear an Acid Ape track that doesn´t deliver. Acid Ape doesn’t really sound like any other band, but if you like bands like Melvins, Cream Abdul Babar and to some extent Neurosis you’d probably love their insane approach to everything fuzz `n´ feedback drenched. There’s tons of odd riff combinations and melodies and there’s enough twists and turns to keep the attention of even the most jaded listeners!" hogfeldt StonerRock.com
"ACID APE is not your typical Rock band of new. They are somewhat of a throw back to the 1990's where Alternative Rock ruled the airwaves in the States with artists like NIRVANA, THE MELVINS and SOUNDGARDEN. The band's sound is raw and rough and there are no apologies made here. Not much singing is done on "Tetna Shot". Just a whole hell of a lot of screaming. "X-Leg" provides a lot of fuzz and low end bass that will have the speakers vibrating. This is a band that you could see playing New York's CBGB'S. The music pretty much remains consistent for the whole album and they make no qualms about it. Rawk and Punk fans should eat this up. (Online March 4, 2003)"[4]
