Humanifesto - The Infamous(Koi Records)

Humanifesto is a Canadian Melodic Hardcore band with a wacky sense humor.

To give a little bit of background: They're known for their incredibly energetic live show. Their first release was a tribute to NOFX's "F*ck The Kids 7" on which they replaced all of NOFX's lyrics with their own political words, and now on their second album every track and the album title are an anagram for the band's name.

Humanifesto plays through a wide variety of poppy-er Punk. From your standard anthemic pop punk, to darker slightly slower numbers. Sometimes there's a bit of style ranging even within songs, which is nicely accented with the different vocalists. They also feature a much more political subject for their songs than the average melodic hardcore band; ranging from just about every issue you can think of. Even stranger is that they manage to add in some humor amongst some of the dark topics without making it feel like it's an out of sync comedic relief from the issues that are at hand.

Bottom Line: Their listed influences are NOFX, Strike Anywhere, Anti-Flag, among others. Personally I'd much rather listen to Humaifesto, plain and simple.
