An interestingly weird band mixing influences and sounds from all ends of the musical spectrum but, unlike many avant-garde and artsy bands, this WORKS to their advantage.
-- Black Angel Promotions
With its members hailing from different sections of the United States, Dark Humor is gradually building a fan base as diverse as their music. Since late 2003, the new lineup -- consisting of founding members Terry Rice and Noah joined by newbie Joseph Y. Kamiya -- have been working tirelessly on original material for a new studio album. Instead of following the crunchy punk-rock riffs and shouted expletives of their first album, they began to haunt more diverse regions of sonic soundscape. This resulted in acoustic ballads, gothic-romance rockers, and even some folk/country tunes. [Its] charming, says Chicago rocker Ahab Rex . Lots of lo-fi charm and pop sense bleeding through.
Mainstream critics criticize Dark Humors experimentalism, branding it inconsistent and/or overtly strange. For the underground audience, Dark Humor is one of the risk-takers who have abandoned interest in everything acceptable to the average listener. Their courage to push traditional song structures and to break the boundaries of genres is attracting indie bands, listeners, and promoters alike. Sin, owner of @ntidote Records , describes them as a weird mix of [Frank] Zappa, Janes Addiction, R.E.M., and the Dead Milkmen. You cant go wrong with catchyness, says U.K.s alternative rock threesome, Porcelain Mary , Aint that what they say?!
Although the band is currently unable to bring Dark Humor to life through live performances, Terry, Noah, and Joseph shall continue to sow musical chaos that will spread through stereo and computer speakers all over the multiverse and beyond...
Q U O T A T I O N S
"Some whacky crap! It made me smile... Bravo!"
--Stu Charno ("Ted" from Friday The 13th Part Two)
"You never cease to amaze me. If I could describe you guys in two words it would be 'musical geniuses.' And with songs like From My Little Black Heart To Yours, Dream Me Awake, A Sad Song, and Scarred, you prove it... I'm nothing but impressed."
--Andres Muerte (of Skin 30 )
"I think y'all would be an asset to any label, indie or national. It's always great to hear something new, and even better, innovative. I think it takes balls to try and excel as a band that really can't be put into a specific genre. You have something for everyone, it's just a matter of getting people -- namely mainstream only fans -- to hear the tunes."
--Luke
"The only bad thing about your music is that it's making me rethink my decision to give up hallucinogens a couple of years ago."
--Sin (of Antidote Records )
"Some of the new material is positively beautiful. A Sad Song in particular; it sent a shiver down my spine..."
--Owen Plohr
"YUMZ!!! Love you guys. Your tunage makes me very happy (Oh, is that bad?)."
--Deva (of DEVAMACHINE )
"Beautiful... Hands down refreshing... Good to know good tunes are around... Real music for sure!"
--D.W. Larson (of Light Comedy )
"Nevermore Radio is proud to soon be presenting Dark Humor for their, well, dark humour. While mainly a gothic radio show, since I'm the creative control nazi, Dead Things and other selections go on. However, I disagree: children SHOULD play with dead things."
--William Thorn (of Nevermore Radio )
