![]() ![]() ![]() 'Something Global' is the headline single for the album, and comes on a CD with their first recorded version of 'Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues', the Mclusky song, and a new original, 'Knucklehead'. The rest of the album is just as good, if not better.įight Like Apes, Dublin's '07 indie sensation, have been suffering from some blogger backlash in the drip-feed run-up to their first full-length album, Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion, due September 26th. Mostly I've seen it described as lo-fi indie pop stuff, sort of like Pavement, but what hit me from hearing this song is the sort of early 90s ska-punk/pop from San Francisco like a mix of Green Day's first two albums (this song is about girls on buses, or rather, a girl on a bus) and Operation Ivy/Common Rider (Jesse Michael's post-Op Ivy project, which sounds the closest to this than anything else I can think of). So Cow is a guy from Galway, Ireland who started releasing music while working in South Korea teaching English (the name is a sort of bilingual Korean-English pun). I found out about this guy from The Indie Hour and also from this song playing on the radio. Fight Like Apes, 'Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues' from the Something Global EP.
