“A shining example of what we can be expecting on the band’s debut album next year.” Single Of The Day – The AU Review
“It’s dreamy, it’s delicate, but it’s also a total banger. Repeat, repeat, repeat.- Music Feeds
“Everything catchy pop should be, the chorus is a grade-A ear-worm full of jangly guitar and fist pumping sing-a-long lyrics that’s sure to be a festival favourite this summer.”
– AAA Backstage
“APES have nailed it again as far as WildnFree‘s concerned.”

“An early highlight of my (BIGSOUND) festivities were Melbourne rockers APES, who smashed out a 1am opening night set at Crowbar, while still proving to be the highlight of the night. Their music just got more and more epic as the set continued. Way too under appreciated and way too solid for their own good. “
