Bearing arguably one of the most memorable band names in music history, Santa Maria, California-based punk outfit A Human and His STDs compare their music to "a romantic fist-fight." With old school punk vocals and catchy riffs abound, (this) may just be the year of A Human and His STDs." - Skratch Magazine. The band influences vary greatly from old school Punk (Conflict, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat) to Classical (Beethoven, Shubert) to obscure bands (Marz Volta, Black Heart Procession, Sigur Ros), although their music reflects a completely unique project, leaning away from conventional punk, and more towards an "Evolved-POST-PUNK" sound.
