Apes of the State,
Clover Lynn, The Hellfires
Apes of the State is an independent PA based folk punk band.
Apes of the State was born from the post-rehab bedroom folk punk project of singer/songwriter April Hartman in 2015. In her words: “I picked up a guitar and started writing about s*** instead of doing drugs about it.” Their sound is a distinct blend of classic folk punk, emo, pop punk, folk, and bluegrass with attitude fueled vocals spitting clever lyrical wordplay. Drawing early influence from artists such as Pat the Bunny & Paul Baribeau, April filled out the sound of her stripped down and honest acoustic songwriting with a ramshackle crew of musicians collected from open mics and the music scene of their home base Lancaster, PA.
