Eerie Hardcore Punk Super-group Human Animal Share First New Single of 2023 with "LimonCello Fellow" (Surprise Attack Records)

Human Animal is an Erie, Pennsylvania-based Hardcore Punk band consisting of Eric Michael Schauffele AKA E.M.S., Robert Williams AKA Bob/Bobby, Ryan Zimmerman AKA Baby Boy, Adam Salaga AKA Firefly, and newest addition Kyle Bull. Amongst them, Human Animal's members have previously played, made, or recorded music with Brother's Keeper/Sumthin' to Prove, Empty Promises, Smoke & Mirrors, The A.K.A.'s, Thick As Thieves, Pray for A Fallen Angel, Deadhorse, Phases, Anchor, xDisciplex A.D., Jesus Wept, Bushido Code, xRepresentx, Domestic War, Shockwave, and Stretch Arm Strong. Human Animal seemingly formed within the early months of 2012, as they issued their inaugural release, "Swine Flu," on CD/CD-ROM with initial five-person line-up of frontman E.M.S., bassist Ryan Zimmerman, drummer Bob Williams, guitarist Adam Salaga, and now-former second guitarist Nate Black. Soon after, Human Animal released "Swine Flu" as part of their debut EP, Dark Days, on Holy Mountain Music in 2013.


Human Animal next shared splits with Wreckage & Additional Time on Head2Wall Records and Germany's Demons Run Amok Entertainment, respectively, throughout 2014. Panda Claw Records/Bound By Modern Age issued The First Four Winters in 2016 re-collecting Human Animal's aforementioned releases, plus, a handful of new or as-yet-unreleased tracks. Human Animal appeared on BVZ Radio for a live 30-minute set and in-studio interview, which were packaged together as Live On BVZ Radio on cassette tape in 2016. Human Animal self-released their debut full-length, False Realities, on E.M.S.' own Surprise Attack Records in a multitude of vinyl colors and assorted packages in 2020. Human Animal have since released a number of charasmatic covers throughout 2021-22, including xDisciplex A.D.'s "Two-Faced" and Brother's Keeper's "x Hardcore Song x" both released digitally, as well as on super-limited edition five and six-inch vinyl. Now, Human Animal have returned (just in time for March Madness!) with their first sonic offering of 2023: "LimonCello Fellow."


Human Animal shared on their site back in February that "LimonCello Fellow" would be their "first new music of 2023!!! 2 minutes of circle pit, fist-pumping fury. Complete with Adam's best solo work yet. This is just the start of our upcoming new stuff for the year. Lots more surprises in store." It appears as though "LimonCello Fellow" is the first piece of official recorded output to feature Human Animal's newly-added second guitarist Kyle Bull. According to another post on Human Animal's site at the tail-end of 2022, they "recorded 4 new songs down at Cerebral Studios outside of Pittsburgh, which haven't been released just yet (very very soon!)"—we're just gonna guess "LimonCello Fellow" is one of those four! "Just last week we wrapped up vocals on another new cover song to be released next year," Human Animal's 2022 wrap-up post continued. So, stay tuned for new music from Human Animal this year! For now, "LimonCello Fellow" is available on your streaming service of choice, via Surprise Attack Records.
