Humanzi are an alternative indie rock quartet hailing from Dublin, Ireland. Band members are Shaun Mulrooney (guitar, keys, lead vocals); Colm Rutledge (Guitar, vocals); Gary Lonergan (Bass); and Brian Gallagher (Drums, vocals).
Humanzi combines guitars with dance beats and their sound shows influences spanning classic rock n roll, to Punk Rock and Dark electronic music. They cite as their main influences, Primal Scream, The Clash, Velvet Underground, Joy Division and The Stooges. Their dance background is informed by the likes of Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, Peaches and LCD Soundsystem. The Humanzi signature sound is fraught and claustrophobic, and the themes of their tracks are often heavily politicized.
