NEW REVIEW FROM METAL HAMMER MARCH 2008

Sounds LikeUNIVERSAL FREAKOUT is about as solid a stoner metal album as you're ever going to hear (4 out of 5) - metal-rules.com

If it's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder, Puny Human ought to occupy a soft spot in everyone's heart after returning with a CD as excellent as "UNIVERSAL FREAK OUT".- Hartford Courant

The group has emerged from their cocoon of silence with the most diverse, well-written, well-played, and interesting album of their career - hellridemusic.com

The groove here is catchy, heavy, retro rock. Nothing more, nothing less, and all the better for it. (8 out of 10)- Metal Hammer

A dozen or so tracks of top notch stoner rock without courtesy for style or swagger, these songs have only one purpose: enjoyment. (Grade: A)- The Aquarian Weekly

"UNIVERSAL FREAK OUT" is a Puny Human party all the way, and more than worth confirmation of their new lineup's belated but much welcome return. - All Music Guide

Ultimately a top quality riff-rock album with a grin on its face - pennyblackmusic.co.uk

This isn't the same band as it was back in '03. These guys are more diversified. Their arrangements are more complex. The musicianship is still reverberating but the playing is, well, more mature - thecuttingedge.net

Assaulting one's sonic senses with all the hard-charging drive and ferocity of an out-of-control locomotive tearing down the tracks at maximum speed, this album makes a strong immediate impression - Jersey Beat

This album marks the triumphant return of PUNY HUMAN, because they have not only written some real catchy killer songs, but also injected a slight dose of 70's Punk Rock into their heavy fuzz rock.- Cosmic Lava

"UNIVERSAL FREAK OUT" is yet another dose of head-chopping, rubbery-legged chubby thunder from the meanest Star Wars geeks in town. - sleazegrinder.com

Liquid hard rockin' action heisting basic Ramones-level riffs from Deep Purplely early '70s stomp -Lollipop Magazine

Breaking away from the Human's standard stoner sound "UNIVERSAL FREAK OUT" is higher in energy, less riff-obligated and much lighter in mood than either their own back catalogue or the dense and doomy output of stable-mates such as Sasquatch and Five Horse Johnson.- Leicester Bangs (UK)

Good rockin', high-energy fun-Aural Innovations

   About Puny Human
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V4.4

Three years can seem like an eternity when you’re in a band. Especially when those three years are spent in limbo. Plagued by all the suburban tedium that causes most bands to call it a day (marriage, baby making, career pursuits, and endless schedule conflicts), there were times when it looked like Puny Human might do just that. Leave the world with two immaculate albums of hard driving Stoner-Metal and a good looking corpse.

Luckily for us Puny Human chose a different path. Re-inventing themselves the new Puny Human has returned a more focused and high octane band than before. Raging full on with a whole new batch of tunes entitled "Universal Freak Out".

Named from one of their favorite phrase’s in the comic book "The Hulk", Puny Human released their debut cd "Revenge is Easy" back in 2000. The album received high praise from the ever fickle rock critics, and the band spent the following three years alternating between the road and working on new material which would eventually become their sophomore release, "It’s Not the Heat it’s the Humanity."

The summer of 2004 found the drummers seat vacant and the remaining members of Puny Human not quite sure what they were going to do. Luckily for them, longtime Puny Human admirer John Bongiorno was in almost the exact same situation. Needless to say, neither side was looking forward to the agonizing task of finding new people to play with. However, after comparing notes over a six pack (or four) the 2 parties decided to get together and make some noise.

Thus was born "Universal Freak Out". Mixing one part Devo with two parts Deep Purple and one part a whole bunch of kicks in your face, "Universal Freak Out" is a record that will rewire your brain cells and force feed you beefeaters.

Co-produced and engineered by Andrew Schneider (Cave In, Pelican, Scissorfight, Milligram) "Universal Freak Out" puts a whole new spin on what Puny Human fans have come to expect. Thick fuzzy riff’s that meld the rock of Sabbath with the spirit of a generation raised on punk.


LOOKS LIKE A COOL GAME AND PUNY HUMAN IS THE MUSIC!

I interviewed renowned photographer Bob Gruen last year and just posted a video of that on YouTube. He talks about the early days when he was taking pictures of Ike and Tina Turner, John Lennon, the New York Dolls, the Sex Pistols and the Clash.
Check it out!
