The band has released 2 new singles “Screaming” in 2019 and “What Are We Fighting For” in early 2020.

The latest singles and the 2 previous EP’s “Who Can I Trust” and The self titled EP “The Chimpz” which included the hits “California” and “Right to Left” (as heard on Sons of Anarchy),were produced by platinum award winning producer Ryan Greene (Bad Religion, NOFX, Megadeth).
