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 was a vocalist, keyboardist and brass musician and has joined the band to provide assistance with all things tech.  Pete has convinced him that he should sing and play instruments again.

Up until now we have mixed our own compositions. We make our own 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. 😜
