How To Human - Single Review: Devil in Your Pocket
06 Mar 2018 // A review by Kerry MB
How to Human are a four-piece rock assault hailing from Wellington, ready to unleash
their edgy rock on unsuspecting audiences.
Pushing the limits
musically and lyrically, Devil in Your
Pocket is their debut single, and from the first listen, it’s crisp and exciting.
Devil in Your Pocket is a slab of crunchy rock with melodic punk
overtones and punchy vocals. Think (Aussie rockers) Grinspoon with a touch of Deja Voodoo, and you'll get a basic idea of a great sound that is simple and effective,
but completely their own.
How to Human may be
new on the scene, but their energy is obvious, and not only will that serve
them well live, it captures exactly what they are delivering, no gimmicks, just
good, honest rock music.
If you’re ready for
something new and delicious to sink your ears into, keep an eye out for these
guys.

About How To Human
The musical tastes of band members Lars Von Espy, Joe Fogarty, Si Randall and Joe Gilmartin have a firm foundation in big riff rock but extend to the eclectic and progressive. The four combine seamlessly to deliver heavy, melodic and subversive rock with plenty of left-turn diversions.
March 2018 sees the release of HTH’s debut single. Instantly memorable and powerful, A Devil In Your Pocket was recorded in Wellington’s ‘The Armory’ studio. It captures the band in full force: big drums and guitars with sneering, swaggering vocals.

Shady Brain Farm hail from North-West Auckland — specifically Kumeu, Waimauku, and Muriwai Beach — and has been making music together since 1997.

Hadees Drudge - Album Review: The Mind Lies When The Soul Dies
01 Aug 2024 // by Kerry MB
Hadees Drudge is quite an anomaly in Wellington’s metal scene. Forgoing a second guitarist, they proudly rock one guitar in a genre where that’s almost unheard of.

PARK RD - Album Review The Novel
23 May 2024 // by Kerry MB
It’s easy to see why Auckland five-piece, PARK RD is making some noise, figuratively and literally with their debut album, The Novel. Heavy on the indie, but far from light with solid guitar riffs and pop and funk sensibilities, PARK RD are a great example of solid musicianship.
