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 Kill 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.
