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: 





Subscription Information (Updated June 2026)

Subscriptions are now live! Six typewritten zines sent via the post at irregular intervals. Prices are $30AUD with postage within Australia included (note that international options are not yet arranged!) There's no deadline for subscription, but if you subscribe late I'll send all back issues together with your first parcel. 

To arrange your subscription, send AUD $30 via EFT to PayID: max@barelyhuman.info with your street address for postage. Email the above address to arrange alternate payment methods, or post cash to PO Box 301, Summer Hill NSW 2130. 

I'm working on international options, which will hopefully be confirmed soon, but email the above if you're impatient and we can package multiple issues at once after publication, or package them with other items from the online store to make it worth your while.
