about

Lismore’s HUMAN DINOSAUR MACHINE throw massive weight into their new self-released single, VENTILATOR. Set to drop on the Saturday 23th of September 2023, the pop-punk heroes weave elements of raw punk, dark pop melodies, thoughtful lyricism and innate, authentic energy that draws you in from the opening moment. VENTILATOR is everything that O-G fans will love.

Taking inspiration from early 2000’s emo and post-punk including Jane’s Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins and The Used, HDM’s musical style has a captivating sincerity structured to both express emotion and invoke a sonic connection with each and every one of their listeners. VENTILATOR follows on from releases SPAGHETTI and DIARY OF BROKEN BONES, taken from HDM’s short but compelling catalogue of singles, that has been supported by both industry and audiences alike, garnering thousands of collective streams around Australia and the UK.

lyrics

It's as if you had a tomb
In the centre of your womb
Does it feel like you're dying inside
Are you sure you're breathing?
 
I see you looking for
A conversation but I want more
There's blood on your hands
But you swear you were bored
Are you sure you're breathing?
 
Is this living?
Tell me what you're waiting for
Are you still breathing?
Asking answers for questions you know for sure
Are you dreaming?
Do you hope for so much more?
Are you still breathing?
Are you still breathing?
Ventilator
 
It's always more than it seems
The uncertainty makes you weak
A lung doesn’t help you breathe
A life doesn’t help you
Was it better before?
When the hope that you have feels so impure
You've never been so sure
It's enough to make you
 
Is this living?
Tell me what you're waiting for
Are you still breathing?
Asking answers for questions you know for sure
Are you dreaming?
Do you hope for so much more?
Are you still breathing?
Are you still breathing?
Ventilator
 
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
 
Is this living?
Tell me what you're waiting for

Are you still breathing?
Asking answers for questions that you know
Are you dreaming?
Do you hope for so much more?
Are you still breathing?
Are you still breathing?
 
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?

Human Dinosaur Machine Lismore, Australia

Human Dinosaur Machine's writing motivation has always been a brutalised, honest look at all the fun highs and sad lows regarding well being and mental health and the music strongly reflects this.

"HDM are like caged tigers with broken teeth - too wild, too angry, too loud, too BIG! to be boxed into a recording studio" - Rob Hirst, Midnight Oil ... more
