AURIS APOTHECARY in DECIBEL MAGAZINE - February 2011 [Philadelphia, PA]

Label of the Month! And the winner is...Auris Apothecary! This Indiana label's packaging has to be seen to be believed. So cool! The awesome, hard and heavy Hail Architeuthis! CD I got is a marvel of design. As is the rock-and-dirt-filled metal box that houses the Pusdrainer tape entitled Worms Beneath Thy Cold Flesh. Love Pusdrainer. He keeps trying to kill my speakers, but they survive! I also love the unplayable black pepper-encrusted CD and sand-filled tape I received. And I even loved the old Cheez-Its box that all this stuff came in. I just wish I hadn't opened the package in bed. Oops! All this stuff is super-limited, so be quick! LINK TO PUBLICATION

HUMANS in the RYDER - May 2010 [Bloomington, IN]

Humans make music. What kind of music? Humans themselves offer the following associations: ejaculation and condensation, respiration and sex at gas stations. In other words, this is a band to see when the loud, jittery, primate side of your humanity is beating against your ribcage for escape. Humans definitely must be enjoyed on your feet, with spazzy numbers that hit like sudden summer lightning storms in the middle of a muggy Midwest afternoon (or after-midnight) and vanish as quickly as they struck. They like their audiences to be simultaneously confused and enthusiastic, and intend to get heads banging. Seemingly unlikely influences sneak into the punk/thrash/metal storm, from country to hardcore to "Lawrence Welk-style vocal harmonies," and natural sounds like the patterns of chirping crickets and the screams of angry drivers. So...do these particular humans have names? Yes, in fact. They go by Joel Henline (vocals and guitar), Zack Jetter (percussion and vocals), and Jeffrey Jetter (bass and vocals). A cassette version of Humans' debut album, "Humans are Dead," on local label Auris Apothecary can be found at Landlocked and TD's, as well as online at www.AurisApothecary.org. A follow-up and an EP are curently being written and will be recorded this summer, and the band appears on various compilations. Their next local show will be May 14 at The Bishop with Laura K. Balke, Fair Fjola, and Oreo Jones, followed by shows in Indianapolis and Warsaw, Indiana. LINK TO PUBLICATION
