WASPS vs HUMANS - Dublin Album Launch + THEWLIS special guest
Advertisement
Wasps vs Humans celebrate their newly released second album, The Day Homo Sapiens Destroyed the Earth, with a full, meaty set at Thomas House in Dublin. Doors open at 8.30pm, and Wasps will be joined by special guest THEWLIS.
The launch also marks the band's first-ever vinyl release, in partnership with Anthem Vinyl. Recorded between Dublin and Cork, the album is the culmination of two years of gigging, capturing the raw energy of the live show in a harder, grittier yet more melodic sound. Heavy guitar riffs and thundering beats collide with harmonies, folk influences, whistles and bodhrán — though there’s not a trad song in sight.
Renowned for their incendiary live shows, WvHs are an anarchic mix of drums, bodhrán, whistles, punk poetry, songs and beats. A sonic assault, their brand of electronic punk-folk energy tackles disappointment, inner-city crime, a fame-obsessed culture and social decay with a huge dollop of desperation, balanced by equal measures of anger and wit to create a darkly humorous soundtrack to modern life.
THEWLIS
Named after renowned English actor David Thewlis, THEWLIS is the solo project of Donegal native Danny McElhinney.
With eight singles released on streaming services, he has received positive reviews from critics and enthusiastic radio play both at home and abroad. His musical style encompasses alternative rock, punk, folk and dark-toned country.
