ABOUT BARELY HUMAN
BARELY HUMAN is somewhere between a zine and a bootleg cassette label, an ongoing research project about DIY subcultures with punk music as its focus based on Gadigal land in Sydney, Australia. Starting as a series of print essays in 2015 (on musicians including Randy Newman, Butthole Surfers, Country Teasers and Low Life), it took the form of a documentary-style podcast series in 2020 (connecting a range of bands from THE FUGS and CRASS, through ELECTRIC EELS and the RAINCOATS, and towards CHEATER SLICKS and HARAM), before becoming an ongoing series of type-written zines and bootleg cassette tapes, which it operates as today.
BARELY HUMAN has since ceased using social media platforms and networked newsletter services, and runs solely as a direct-to-user email newsletter, via this blog, and through a mail order service available via subscription. More information at the links below:
