Search - Puny Human :: Universal Freak Out

"Stoner rock fans, here comes your latest reason to fog up the van: this NYC quartet will satiate all of your `needs' with its thick `n' heavy riffs, sludge-laden grooves, ridiculous lyrics, and a low-end that'll blow the dust out of your favorite bong." -- Splendid "Places them quite a few notches above the legion of stoner outfits currently doing the rounds by virtue of impressive musicianship, outstanding production, and an epic sense of ambition." -- Rocksound Puny Human has always been one of the staples of "heavy" in the Small Stone camp, but when the drummer's seat emptied in late Summer 2004, the three remaining members were unsure about what to do with the band, and with themselves. Meanwhile, longtime Puny Human admirer and out-of-work drummer John Bongiorno had found himself in a similar position. Needless to say, neither side was looking forward to the agonizing and often humiliating prospect of finding new people with whom to play, but a casual encounter, a bit of conversation, and some comparing of notes later, the two parties decided to join together and make some noise ... Puny Human style. Three years of marriage, baby making, career pursuits, and endless schedule conflicts will take their toll on a man (or four) and as a result, the new Puny Human is in full-on-rage mode on their new album, Universal Freak Out. This "Second Coming" of the band is stronger, more focused, and higher-octane than ever before. With the addition of Bongiorno, the group has reinvented itself as a band that cannot be pigeonholed. With equal parts Deep Purple and Devo, and a whole mess of in-your-face ass kicking, Universal Freak Out will feed the hunger of all famished heavy music fanatics.
