Premier Concerts and Manic Presents:
APES OF THE STATE
Apes of the State is an independent folk punk band from Lancaster, PA. As a band, they are driven by DIY ethics with a goal of helping as many people as possible with their music. Their upbeat, mandolin driven songs encompass the full range of human emotion and cover topics such as love, heartbreak, student loan debt, regret, and overcoming addiction. Their most recent release, “They Can’t K*ll Us All (2023)” is a 7” split record with Washington band Sister Wife Sex Strike. It leaves no room for questioning the band’s political message and evolution in sound while still sticking to their acoustic roots.

RENT STRIKE
RENT STRIKE is a call to action! Fiercely independent and pushing up against all bounds, their music is a wild dream, a spreading fire, an explosion in every direction, and a challenge to our notion of our time and of our place. Their new record NOW is a sieve for the dread of the present day, confronting the widespread alienation and disillusionment of late capital head-on to sift out the pieces of hope, resistance, and joy from the experiences within, and the possibilities without.
RENT STRIKE has appeared in various forms throughout its decade-long existence. It is primarily a vehicle for the songwriting of John Warmb, who is supported by percussionist Nick LaForge in the studio and on the road.
