LOS ANGELES, CA (July 30, 2008) – Los Angeles-based power trio The Human Value announced today that they will be releasing their second CD, Push and Pull, in the U.S. on September 23, 2008, along with a limited edition LP. The LP (500 blue and 500 yellow vinyl) includes a free download card for a one-time digital download of Push and Pull and two additional bonus tracks not on the U.K. version (released Nov. of ’07). The U.S. release is the first on lead singer Turu’s newly-formed Pretty Mouth Records (http://www.prettymouthrecords.com) via Big Deal Records (http://www.bigdealrecords.com <http://www.bigdealrecords.com/> ) with distribution from Ryko/WEA http://www.rykodistribution.com ).
The Human Value (THV) is a power trio fronted by serpentine vocalist Turu, king of the fuzz-tone guitar Hiram Fleites (ex-Kittens for Christian) and whirling dervish drummer Tim Bolish. THV first made a name for themselves in England on their debut self-titled CD in winter of 2006. Turu and Hiram, the core duo behind the LA-based THV, relocated to London that year, touring guerilla-style through ’07. They returned to the states to record Push and Pull, but went back to the UK for that release and more touring. They made the move due, in large part, to nomadic adventure and fantastic reviews in the notoriously fickle U.K. press (like NME “It’s powerful stuff” and The Fly “They are The Human Value. We are not worthy,”) on their UK debut. They soon became known for their eye-popping live show. continue reading...
