WASP V HUMANS
Gaining a reputation on the live circuit for their high octane performances, WvHs are an anarchic mix of drums, bodhrán, whistles, punk poetry, songs and beats, featuring punk poet, drummer and guitarist Carl Antony Plover and singer, bodhrán and whistle player Linda Plover.
A sonic assault, no subject is out of bounds; from celebrity presidents, celebrity culture, cheap meat, consumerism, social media trolling to inner city violence.
WvHs’ new single ‘Price you Pay’ is an ode to existential crisis; a depiction of life in the rat race, caught in the rut that is ruled by money, social standing and the realisation that you are yet another lemming in the cog.
Working on this theme, WvHs decided to produce a double single with two versions of the same song. The ‘A’ side captures a 90’s vibe, reminiscent of Everything But The Girl, with the overall feel, a juxtaposition to the song’s commentary and featuring stunning harp from collaborator Mairead Kelly.
The ‘B’ side is a more urgent affair, with indie pop inflections, distortion, drums and effects, to produce a warped, grungy undertone, reflecting the discord and sentiment within the lyrics.
