Band info:
From the rainforest of beautiful British Columbia comes Raised By Apes, sometimes seen in the urban jungles around hastings and main in vancouver, these primates have been known to be extremely ferocious when it comes to punk rawk. Primarily surviving off of scotch, cigarettes and cheap beer from the Cobalt. They come down from their shaded canopies in the trees whenever the seasons are right, to destroy stages around the lower mainland and beyond. Kiiligan has slipped out of the rainforest and has recently been spotted in the mojave desert hunting for the place to unleash the rest of the ape tribe. Not an easily convinced tribe though and the mojave proved to be to dry of a climate for an invasion of the rainforest dwellers, look in the rain soaked climates of BC for the further adventures of the tribe

So far they relesed officialy Destination Nowhere (Felony Records, 2009)  with Pennywise vibe and great melodic skate punk touch. Now they band is workong on new album. Before that they have premiered a video for their “new” song “50,00 Volts” and you can check it out right here:



This song (50,000 Volts) is dedicated to Robert Dziekański. He was a Polish immigrant to Canada who died on October 14, 2007, after being tasered five times by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) at Vancouver International Airport.

Full details of the incident came to light because it was filmed by a member of the public, Paul Pritchard. The police initially took possession of the video, refusing to return it to Pritchard. Pritchard went to court to obtain it, then released it to the press.

The final inquiry report released Friday June 18, 2010 concluded the RCMP were not justified in using a Taser against the Polish immigrant and that the officers later deliberately misrepresented their actions to investigators.
