Search - T.H.E.M Thee Human Ego Maniacs :: Sin, Win & Grin

T.H.E.M has always been fascinated and influenced by a vast array of musical styles and sounds. Their creative musical cocktail can be best described as equal influential shots of their early childhood favorites: Human League,Kate Bush, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Dead Or Alive, The B-52's, and Bjork. With a generous slice of Portishead, Pet Shop Boys, Eurythmics, Bananarama, and Thompson Twins. Add of course a tangy squeeze of Everything But The Girl and top off with a hearty splash of Depeche Mode and classic Blondie to garnish. Blended until tastefully smooth and uniquely satisfying, with just enough edge to stimulate the senses. In short, their sound is greatly invested with tried and true international pop touches which make it instantly accessible for a wide crossover market, easily embracing the multi-formats of radio and club play alike. This truly unique musical blend has inspired T.H.E.M to combine the best elements of many musical worlds and unite them into a fusion of sound and style all its own, displaying diversity; thus guaranteeing longevity as sound and style creators well into this millennium. The undeniable new wave influence is actually quite genuine, as T.H.E.M enjoyed working with the albums co-producer Arthur Barrow (right-hand-man to super-producers Giorgio Moroder and Keith Forsey during their 80?s new wave peak, working on numerous hits from Berlin, Debbie Harry, Phil Oakey of Human League, Billy Idol, Sique Sique Sputnik, and as a bassist/keyboardist in the late Frank Zappa?s band, and his own 90?s techno band Mona Lisa Overdrive). T.H.E.M also enjoyed much input from their dear friend and former employer, new wave pioneer Jon St. James (of SSQ, Berlin, Stacey Q, and Red Flag producing/engineering fame).
