One of the longest-lived American goth-inspired bands, Human Drama is in many
ways the vehicle for singer/multi-instrumentalist Johnny Indovina, who has
overseen the band through a variety of lineup changes and stylistic experiments.
Over time he has led Human Drama through a series of inspired releases, his
strong, just tender enough singing and ear for darkly passionate and dramatic
music always at the core of whatever the band is trying next. Supported by a
small but devoted fan base in America and elsewhere, notably in Mexico, both
Indovina and Human Drama look set to continue their work for some time to come.
Human Drama's proper first came to wider attention via the heavily-hyped "Scream
scene" of the mid-'80s, referring to the noted underground goth metal club that
helped bring Guns N' Roses and Jane's Addiction to wider attention. Human Drama
contributed a song, "Wave of Darkness," to the 1987 collection Scream: The
Compilation, which led to a major label deal shortly thereafter with RCA. 1989
saw the release of a taster EP, Hopes Prayers Dreams Heart Soul Mind Love Life
Death, and later that year a full album, Feel, both products of recording
sessions in Wales and both accomplished enough but rather strident and
overbearing. Indovina concluded after release that RCA wasn't doing enough in
terms of promotion, making a leap to the small but worthy Triple X label, where
he has stayed ever since.
The next major Human Drama release was a masterwork and still for many the best
effort by the band still, 1992's The World Inside, a lengthy and, unlike Feel,
much more focused and tender effort that deserved the heavy acclaim it won. A
solo performance of various cover songs by Indovina at the album's release party
inadvertently suggested the next Human Drama album ù 1993's Pin-Ups, an open
tribute to David Bowie's album of the same name, being a collection of remakes
of various sources of inspiration. A move to New York City accompanied a
temporary co-release stint on the noted Projekt label, resulting in two further
mid-decade releases ù 1994's self-titled EP, especially noted for its reworking
of Feel's epic "The Waking Hour," and 1995's Songs of Betrayal, an extended
meditation on the theme that was later re-released as two separate discs with
extra tracks.
