Ape Hangers catch a ride to rock and roll redemption with 'Ape Hangers II' Boston garage rock and power-pop trio make up for lost time with fiery new album 16 killer Ape Hangers tracks total including Bonus tracks & dee-luxe art package download!! There are several redemption arcs on display throughout Empire Records, the '90s coming-of-age dramedy that has become a cult-classic in the 30-plus years since its release. The plot of the film involves a struggling indie record shop successfully fighting back against a hostile corporate takeover; its vibrant cast of characters each experience a personal metamorphosis to work through their various issues (we see you, Lucas, Debra, Warren, et al); and hell, the film itself went from box office bomb to one of the more quotable and celebrated movies of its time (we also see you, "Rex Manning Day"). But there's one last act of redemption that has been decades in the making, and one that's still playing out against the hands of time. It comes from the Ape Hangers, the fiery Boston garage rock and power-pop band who are heard both on the Empire Records soundtrack and early on in the film, giving a sonic punch to a pivotal scene that sets off a chain of events that define the movie.
