Humour

The buzz has been steadily building around Glasgow's Humour, having caught fervent attention with their EPs and established a towering live reputation through the strength and raw unpredictability of their shows.

We’re thrilled to be bringing you a super limited fan package of their deliciously noisy debut. Pounding us with their experimental, unhinged, punchy, discordant, claustrophobic and sometimes surreal avant-post-hardcore - these guys are a real force of nature, so get in on the action now!

At the tail end of 2022, Humour put out their debut EP, ‘Pure Misery’: a six-track fever dream that established them as one of the most exciting new bands on the circuit; a record they called themselves "a montage of miserable things... a bit desperate and a bit grim, but also a bit ridiculous". 2023 saw the group taking further strides with 'A Small Crowd Gathered To Watch Me' - a second collection of songs that showed a further progression towards capturing the powerful sound that emanates from their live stage...

Humour live together in Glasgow and formed across the lockdowns, writing and recording their material at home, with the music intended as a backdrop to Andreas' narrative-driven and often surreal lyrics. Sometimes they’re about letting people down, sometimes they’re about pets dying, sometimes they’re about trying to say something when you don’t have anything worth saying. The imagery of the lyrics is reflected in the illustrative designs Andreas makes for the single and album artworks, making drawings to go along with each of their songs, and the visuals behind the lyric videos for previous singles.

"Something unique: vocals that veer wildly between extremes, sometimes a manic gibbering mess, others an emotive swagger, the instrumentals tightly wound and hard-hitting" – NME
