The Human Error - News At Ten

  

  I'm sure the more mature visitors to this blog can just about remember back in time to the late 70's when this new thing called punk rock reared it's oh so beautiful head and every town, city and street corner seemed to give birth to a fresh faced bunch of youngsters who maybe lacked the musical talent of the generation they sought to replace but who brought with them an enthusiasm and a passion that endeared them to those of us that were hungering for something just that little more exciting than had previously been on offer. Those bands picked up their newly acquired instruments and learnt to play them as they were going along. Quite a few of them are still with us today. 

  One band who would have been perfectly at home on the streets and in the flea pits of the West Midlands back then are The Human Error (https://www.facebook.com/thehumanerrorband). They're a young trio, Joe Ree (Vocals/Guitar), Joe Brown (Bass) & Adam Welsh (Drums) who I've featured a couple of times recently and who've just released a debut Self Titled album. Both songs I've had on here, Fractured Britain & Ozone Park, are on it. They're accompanied by another 8 tracks (one of which is a very spirited Buzzcocks cover) that suggest this is a band to watch out for, a band that's only going to get better. 

  Like those 3 chord wonders wowing a generation long before these guys were born, this is a band who deal in no frills, old school punk rock but who do it well and who have the potential to be one of the bands at the forefront of the genre as the usual Rebellion Festival staples begin to hand over the torch. You can find the album here : https://thehumanerrorband.bandcamp.com/album/the-human-error

   

  This song is called The News At 10... 

The Human Error - Ozone Park

  

  The Human Error (https://www.facebook.com/thehumanerrorband) are the very promising young trio (Joe Ree (Vocals/Guitar), Joe Brown (Bass) & Adam Welsh (Drums)) from the West Midlands who's debut single Fractured Britain proved popular when I posted it on here a few months ago (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-human-error-fractured-britain.html). 

   Since I last wrote about them they've been on an upward trajectory with the odd festival appearance and the announcement of a support slot with The Varukers in Derby on the 20th August (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/varukers-lung-rotters-backstreet-abortion-and-the-human-error-in-derby-tickets-347433451807?). 

  They return today with a follow up single "written about the ever-present threat of nuclear fallout and a certain totalitarian government." It's always good to get in early when a band with loads of potential is just beginning their climb to the top. If you've not yet had the pleasure, you can get the single here...  https://thehumanerrorband.bandcamp.com/track/ozone-park

  It's called Ozone Park...

It was written in testaments long ago
That love thy neighbour was the way to go
But nuclear fission had a point to prove
In the service of the vulnerable

The forefathers scoff, the victims howl
Reactor 4 was on the prowl
With all that's left barely any sound
Of justice by the book

Chorus:
So come on down to Ozone Park
Where the laws can't be heard after dark
And bodies glow in the dark
Never to be heard, never to be heard

Just another day, feeding the HazMat suits
But before you know it, the symbol's in your boots
They're all happy to watch as the Geiger counter peaks
Pass my marshmallow stick, there's gonna be some heat

Chorus

So what's that glow in the distance
Could it be the sound of resistance
Woah

Come on now, roll up roll up
Reactor 3's now blowing up
Woahhhhhh
Run

Chorus

So come on down to Ozone Park
Where they won't let you in without a password
And bodies glow in the dark
Never to be heard, never to be heard
