Saved. From double A single

Your Words Not Mine. Debut single

A driving, gritty slice of bittersweet country-rock. Infectious chorus, intriguing lyrics, soulful slide guitar and a signature piano intro.

Heading North. New single A side.

Loping, greasy funk-blues propelled by crunching bass and drums. Between explosive guitar breaks and signature slide, the song slams and soars with a hard to shake chorus.

(Laughing At) The Writing On The Wall. New single B side

Love Under Pressure Live At DeVille

Humankindness play the original songs of Steve Mitchell - contemporary Rock & Soul Music.
Heading North, a driving, gritty, bittersweet slice of country-rock, is the band's first single, released November 2016. (Laughing At)The Writing On The Wall, is the greasy, blues-funk B side.
 It’s music that is easy to enjoy, but hard to define. Warm and welcoming, but bristling with passion and adventure.
 The band’s reputation for powerful, inventive live shows has grown steadily through a series of festival appearances in New Zealand. 
 Humankindness blend rock, soul, singer-songwriter, blues and funk elements into a distinctive sound. Hook-laden acoustic songs share the set with tough infectious grooves, intense high-wire twin guitar trips, and classy pop melodies. 
The debut album Humankindness was released in October 2015. 
Humankindness are a formidable live band. The inspired, explosive style of lead guitarist Glynn Olsen, steeped in rock, blues and jazz, is the perfect match for Steve's soulful electric slide and passionate, abstract breaks. The fluid and relentlessly inventive drums and bass of Bruce McGregor and Danny Sugar are the band's powerplant beating heart. Paul Jeffries has recently joined to add keyboard textures and melodies to the sound.
