On June 5th, Southern California hardcore punk band Human Issue will release their new album In Flesh through Smartpunk Records. Having already shared “Waking” and “Medicate” – two singles that display the band’s rapid and intense sound – Human Issue now unleash “Vice.” The single addresses overcoming self-destruction, turning mistakes into positive outcomes.

You can watch a gritty performance video for “Vice” HERE and stream the track HERE.

Human Issue just announced they’ll be joining Leftover Crack and Spaceman Bob on a West Coast tour starting May 7th. They’ll follow it with an east coast headline run starting June 18th, leading into Camp Punksylvania Festival on June 21st. You can find all the band’s upcoming tour dates below.

Fast, direct, and stripped of excess, In Flesh pairs short-burst songwriting with sharp, poetic lyrics and a strict “get in, get out” approach. Most songs land under two minutes, packing hardcore aggression, flashes of melody, harsh riffs, and relentless drums into a tight nine-track, fifteen-minute release. In Flesh was produced by vocalist Hunter Martinez, Bryan Lothian (of A Global Threat) and Alex Jacobelli (Negative Blast), who also engineered and mixed, with mastering by Nick Townsend at Townsend Mastering.

In Flesh is available for preorder now through Smartpunk Records.

Human Issue is Hunter Martinez – Vocals, Matthew Watkins – Vocals, Sam Mankinen – Drums, Ryan Marino – Bass, Dylan Moore – Guitar, and Emmett O’Reilly – Guitar.
