HOORAY FOR HUMANS /



Hooray For Humans is a perfect example of how different minds coming together can often equal the best results; with backgrounds in everything from hardcore to avant-garde minimalism, the Cork group are now a brazen pop outfit, who flirt with everything from post-rock to new-wave to electro.

Their debut album entitled Safekeeping, released in October 2007, manages to find a blissful counterbalance between emotive lyrics mixed with boy/girl shouty pop, sensitive indietronica, big choruses and fun times. It is the sound of a band enjoying themselves, wanting to make you dance; yet it is anything but throwaway in its nature.

Recently signed to Smalltown America Records, H4H are currently recording their second album for release in March 2009.
