About Humour
Hailing from the bustling independent music scene of Manchester, Humour burst onto the alternative rock landscape in the late 2010s, quickly establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Their sound is a potent blend of introspective lyricism, driving rhythms, and soaring guitar melodies, drawing comparisons to early Interpol and the atmospheric depth of Editors, yet retaining a distinct identity. The band, comprised of lead vocalist Alex Vance, guitarist Maya Singh, bassist Ben Carter, and drummer Chloe Davies, found early success with their debut EP, “Echoes in the Static,” which garnered critical acclaim for its raw honesty and sophisticated songwriting.
Their breakthrough moment arrived with the release of their debut album, “The Unseen Weight,” featuring fan favourites like “Concrete Heartbeat” and the anthemic “Midnight Bloom.” These tracks showcased their ability to craft complex emotional narratives within a compelling alternative rock framework, leading to sold-out club tours across the UK and Europe. Humour’s musical style is characterised by Vance’s distinctive vocal delivery, which effortlessly shifts from brooding introspection to powerful, impassioned cries, perfectly complemented by Singh’s intricate guitar work and the tight, propulsive rhythm section of Carter and Davies. Their live shows are legendary for their intensity and the palpable connection they forge with their audience, making every performance a cathartic experience.
