Hailing from Melbourne’s Northwest but assembled from previous bands as far as London, this new, if seasoned meeting of the minds, macabrely named The Humane Method, is armed and ready to rouse all in their wake.

As atmospheric and melancholy, as it is angular and abrasive, The Humane Method’s debut EP Reconcile In Colour saw a crown achievement for four old friends who brought their individual know-how deep into the thinktank, but this was only a taster for their majestic debut album where each trait has been heightened to striking effect. Recorded at Soundpark studios with resident wizard and consummate professional ‘Idge’, the album, Paint in Green, is the result of 18 months of vigorous and meticulous song writing, fine tuning and playing until fingertips bled, proving with each listen that there’s a method to their madness.

Wearing influences that range from Sigor Ros, Tool and Manchester Orchestra to AC/DC and Something For Kate firmly on their sleeve, the result is a cohesive and unique shoegaze-come-rock-rooted juggernaut set to seize all who witness The Humane Method.

The band are currently working on their second album, due early 2027.
