Apeman Spaceman
Digital Single Have Not Love | Debut EP
Both Released: 15 July 2016
Apeman Spaceman make a dark, dirty, explosive kind of indie. Following the release of the snarling, visceral punk of debut single Spacecatraz, the London 4-piece are now set to release the thumping, fuzzed glam-rock of Have Not Love. Both tracks are taken from the band’s 4-track eponymous debut EP.
Have Not Love is a non-love song. It has already attracted the attention of film director Ben Charles-Edwards and Sadie Frost, who together with the band have created and produced the video (which also features Sadie Frost). Summing up the song’s main theme, the video is a misanthropic Alice in Wonderland on a dark day by the Thames Estuary, but instead of befriending the strange and wonderful characters she meets on her journey, she destroys them. It's Malice in Wonderland, if you like.
Apeman Spaceman are Johnny Cooke on vocals/guitar, Rikki Mehta on guitar (both founder members of post-punk band Dogs), Carl Dalemo on bass (an original member of Razorlight) and Ethan Kennedy on drums and art.
The band release both the digital single Have Not Love and their eponymous debut EP (CD/Vinyl/Digital) on 15 July via Apeman Spaceman’s imprint Bin Party Records.

Have Not Love
Your super hero blows your super hero nose that you're up to no good
You buy another drink with a rectangle of paper, you wink and you miss the straw
You're the skilful abuser using every ruse in the book to ignore
The reality of every day that suffocates your skin, plugs every pore
That you didn't love
You didn't love
You didn't love
You didn't love
And the night lost its light, and the pills don't work
Until another's lips lose control, and it feels so good
So you're not in love, you know you're not in love, no you're not in love
And that busted bridge doesn't have a keystone you better watch out from above
As you're walking hand in hand through a foreign town
You try your hand in her hair but you look around, still!
Coz you didn't love (Have!)
You didn't love (Not!)
You didn't love (Love!)
You didn't love
And the night lost its light, and the pills don't work
Until another's lips lose control, and it feels so good
So good
At least you know you're no good
