It was released in Ireland on 26 September 2008, the UK on 26 January 2009 and Japan in April 2009. The album charted in the top ten of the Irish Albums Chart upon its release, at #9. It was nominated in the Best Irish Album category at the 2009 Meteor Awards, as well as for the Choice Music Prize in the same year. Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion was named 31st best album of the decade by Phantom FM at the end of 2009.[5] RecordingThe band spent a month in Seattle, Washington, in early 2008, recording tracks for the album, produced by John Goodmanson.[6][7][8] The album title is the beginning of a franchise intended to rival George Lucas, J. K. Rowling and Steven Spielberg, and was inspired by a 1980s Mr. T cartoon.[10] The episode was called “The Mystery of the Golden Medallion” and followed Mr T as he coached an Olympic gymnastics youth team.[9] The album was released on 26 September 2008 on Model Citizen Records,[10][11][12] selling continually well in Ireland and the UK.[13] It was preceded by the release of the single "Something Global" on 11 July 2008.[6] Fight Like Apes played a sold-out launch show at Whelan's in Dublin,[12] which was broadcast live on Phantom FM on the day of release.

The album also received 8/10 in Rocksound and "4 flies" in The Fly. In October 2008, Sony Music Entertainment Japan signed the band for the Asian release of Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion.[17] It was released in Japan in April 2009.[8] It was released in the UK on 26 January 2009.[18][19] Track listing{{Track listing| | total_length = 38:35 | all_writing = Fight Like Apes | title1 = Something Global | length1 = 3:50 | title2 = Jake Summers | length2 = 3:54 | title3 = Tie Me Up with Jackets | length3 = 2:35 | title4 = Digifucker | length4 = 3:25 | title5 = Lend Me Your Face | length5 = 1:54 | title6 = Battlestations | length6 = 3:53 | title7 = Do You Karate? | length7 = 2:31 | title8 = Megameanie | length8 = 0:08 | title9 = I'm Beginning to Think You Prefer Beverly Hills 90210 to Me | length9 = 3:23 | title10 = Lumpy Dough | length10 = 3:20 | title11 = Recyclable Ass | length11 = 2:30 | title12 = Snore Bore Whore | length12 = 4:37 }}{{tracklist | headline = UK (bonus tracks) | total_length = 49:27 | title13 = Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues | length13 = 2:01 | title14 = Knucklehead | length14 = 1:57 | title15 = Telephone The Real Ham Jackson | length15 = 6:04 | title16 = Canhead | length16 = 2:10 | title17 = This Is Like The Time Jody Didn't Know What Cunnilingus Was | length17 = 1:06 }} Personnel
