Oh The Humanity

Since 2012, OH THE HUMANITY! has been combining shreddy metal riffs with singalong punk choruses and the energy of DIY basement hardcore shows. The Massachusetts-based band’s latest record Ground to Dust showcases their diverse influences with 10 tracks of fast technical melodic punk capped off with emotionally resonant lyrics. Recorded by Trevor Reilly (A Wilhem Scream) at Anchor End Studio in New Bedford, MA, Ground to Dust is the band’s third studio album and was released January 2025 on Sell the Heart (U.S.), Thousand Islands Records (Canada), and Engineer Records (UK).

The OTH! crew is all about the bond formed at live shows and have been honored to perform at venerable punk festivals like The Fest, Camp Punksylvania, and Pouzza Fest. They’ve sweat their brains out on stages, in backyards, and in DIY halls across the US, Canada, and the UK, and are back on the road now in support of their new record.

OH THE HUMANITY! is Kevin Athas, Jim Silvio, Kyle Paradis, Chris Dileso, and Chris Santoro. They are pretty cheerful dudes. Some of them like LEGO a lot. Some of them have really, really strong opinions about why “Africa” is only the third best TOTO song. All of them would love nothing more in this life than to come rock and party with you, wherever you may be.
