	The Fire Apes EP Released May 3, 2006 Total 5 Songs Words & Music by John Seymour (p) 2006 KoolKat Music

1. Hey Kate!
2. If Things Don't Look So Good Today
3. Only you Could Make Me Happy
4. Killing Me From Inside (Only Friends)
5. It's Over

'Hey Kate' the first tune on this 5 song EP exemplifies a catchy, power-chord based type of Power Pop that Americans do so well. The only trouble is that a lot of Us bands overdo it; I feared that the next four songs would follow the same formula and things would soon become predictable and tedious. Happily guitarist and songwriter John Seymour understands the need for variety and melodic invention, as the second song, 'If things Don't Look so Good Today' is a good jangly ballad, and 'Killing Me From Inside' features cello and Hugh Knight's keyboards. The vocals are well done throughout. Apparently the band have already released two full length CD's, which should be well worth checking out.

Many releases have one or two stand out tracks. With the Fire Apes latest EP release, I'd say out of 5 tracks, 4 of them are pure perfection. The only reason I don't say all 5, is that the odd one out is a slower track, but it's still a great track, it just doesn't seem to fit with the rest as tightly.
