Fight Like Apes is the third studio album from Irish band Fight Like Apes. It will be released in Ireland on May 15, 2015 and in the UK and internationally on May 18, 2015.[4]

The first commercial single release from the LP is "Pretty Keen on Centerfolds" due for release on May 9.[5] Some of the tracks which appear on the album previously appeared on their Whigfield's Sextape EP in 2014.

Recordings

The album was supported by a Fund It[6] campaign launched in 2013.[7] The crowdfuning campaign proved successful and was completed within a matter of days. The fund it campaign raised the required €20,000.[8]

The crowd funding occurred due to the band and their previous label Model Citizen parting ways. After much delay the band announced the release of a new EP titled in Whigfield Sextape[9] released on May 9, 2014 in Ireland.

In early March 2015, the band confirmed they would release their self titled third studio album on May 15 in Ireland, and May 18 in all other territories.[5]

Artwork

The artwork for the album and singles is produced by Loreana Rushe who has previously worked on their other albums and singles.[10]
