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

Formed in Wellington in 2015, How to Human are a band that has gained a dedicated following on the city’s live music circuit, with gigs at stalwart venues including San Fran, Valhalla and Bodega.

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.

Pale Flag - EP Review: Imperium
29 Jan 2024 // by Kerry MB
With a lot of misconceptions about deathcore, it’d be easy to lump Pale Flag into “one of those bands” based on the sub-genre alone. Luckily, I love metal in the most extreme and Pale Flag just so happen to create deathcore of the finest, which makes it even better to enjoy.
