La Fin de la Semaine Essay Question: Special "Is That Thing Turned to Eleven?" Edition

From their forthcoming (July 13th) EP Simply, please enjoy The Ape-ettes and their highly pertinent punk-rock public service announcement for "Hearing Protection."

Who are those youngsters? Let's hear what they have to say on that subject!

Emerging from the depths of Sudbury, Ontario, the Ape-ettes came to be, like a tiny musical gem unearthed from a mining town, nestled within a massive crater. This garage-pop trio is comprised of long-time friends, Andrée on bass, Melanie on drums and Julie on guitar and vocals. Formed in the cozy confines of Andrée’s basement, these girls have the gift of pumping out infectious tunes with their spirited less-is-more approach. Their live performances inspire a contagious sense of fun and neighborliness, the kind where when you look around, everyone is smiling and dancing. Their first self-titled album came out in 2017 and charted for a long while on Canadian college radio. Now releasing a four song EP for the first time on vinyl, with Reta Records and Snappy Little Numbers, the Ape-ettes are beyond excited for what is to come!

And god bless them for the wonderful work they're doing.

Meanwhile, you can (and should) find out more about them, including how to get their new (and earlier) releases over HERE.

But now to business. To wit:

...and your favorite (or least favorite) song referencing hearing (or just loud noises) in the title or lyrics is...?

Discuss.

Have a great weekend, everybody! And don't forget to wear your earplugs!!!
