"...The Fire Apes
understand what the British pop invasion was about and yet
transcend the past and merge it beautifully with the
future... I highly recommend this CD to all serious power
pop fans...Really GREAT stuff that should be WAY better
known than it is!!! A+"
--JAM Records - Jeremy Morris
"[The Fire Apes]...were extremely popular...but dropped
out of the music scene surfacing from time to time to play a
packed show..." they were at one time the most popular
band in Charleston. They were even more popular than the
inimitable Uncle Mingo, whose shows were nearly always
...sellouts...this was also during the time that...Hootie
and the Blowfish were first playing [the clubs]...the Fire
Apes had the distinction of being the largest draw for The
Music Farm...[at its former location on East Bay
Street]...there were lines out of the door and around the
corner for their shows..."
--The Charleston Paper - - Larry Queen
"...The Fire Apes' A Perfect Day For Bananafish would
have been a shoo-in for Top Ten honors [for 1997]...if I had
known about it! From start to finish, this disc delivers the
goods - original songs and a superb power pop version of
Abba's "S.O.S.;" lots of jangly guitars...
