Bio
We are a hobby that has become serious.
We love progressive rock music but we are not that interested in labels. Our music is original, new and inspired by the wonderful bands we grew up listening to. The influence of Rush, Marillion, Genesis, Queen and Pink Floyd to mention but a few, is there, but our passion is the creation of new songs, performed and recorded in our own studio.
We are two Frustrated Apes - Pete Robertson and Alan Rathbone.
Pete is a bassist who has decided to be a multi instrumentalist instead, despite being confused by any instrument that has more than four strings… and he has also decided to “sing” lead vocals, for which he openly and humbly apologises.
Alan is an IT Specialist and has joined the band to provide assistance with technology. Alan used to be a musician hence why he is frustrated...
Up until now we have mixed our own compositions. We make videos, podcasts and artwork. We don’t really know what we’re doing but we are certainly having a lot of fun, and that is what we want to share with you; the joy of music.
If you’ve got this far, we’d like to thank you for your attention and offer you ours. Drop us a message. Get in touch. Apes together strong. 😜
