Music

It starts with a surprised yelp, like someone’s given this young Dublin quartet’s lead singer a good goosing. Then: Ramones’ ramalama; the dark rock melodicism of Jane’s Addiction; sexily surging new wave; urgent post-hardcore; surf guitar and even Elvis’s sneery lounge – it’s a weird mix, but Humanzi pull it together. Their declamatory lyrics (‘This is the shit, so get used to it/This is the shit you’ve got to live with’) suggests lads with Stuff On Their Minds, too. Good news, all round.
