“The human race will begin solving it’s problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously.” - Malaclypse the Younger

“The humaLife is absurd!  It is depraved, yet wholesome.  Boring, yet exciting.  Capable of making your body explode with a feeling of pure ecstasy whilst killing you with molecule squashing depression.  Zumba Crisis have accepted and embraced this, delivering to you a satirical commentary on life, battling their way through tabloid fearmongering, celebrity attention seeking and capitalist brainwashing, set to music.  From incestuous policemen to egomaniacal dictators, to people being annoyed about how windfarms look from their kitchen window, Zumba Crisis has a soundtrack for it all.  Zumba Crisis is a psychedelic deconstruction of the banal pomposity of human beings.

This is what being in a band is largely all about; young folk simply having fun together. ‘This is the track that got us thrown out of the Walls Hall,’ they announce at one stage. This intruiging and amusing statement ultimately proves to be all the funnier when I subsequently found out they were acutally playing the Walls Brownie's Up-Helly-Aa hop day at the time. Punk truly isn't dead!"
