Human Host began in December 2002 in Baltimore, Md., USA. Their work is a combination of punk, crunk, psychedelia, folklore, and theatre.

Led by Mike Apichella, the creative core of Human Host also includes producers Rick Weaver, Jeff Duncan, and singer/producer Josh Marchant, with a live group featuring Keith Backhaus and Josh Marchant, in addition to a rotating ensemble of diverse musical & non-musical contributors and collaborators.

They have released four c.d.'s: a split with the Baltimore band Fridge A on the Baths Of Power label in summer 2003, Invisible Arteries released by MT6 Records in October 2004, Exploding Demon(MT6) in February '06, and The Halloween Tree which came out in summer '07 exclusively on Fall Records as a digital download with the c.d. version of it jointly released by Fall Records, Terra Firma Records, Firecracker Firecracker, and Human Conduct.

Human Host have also contributed tracks to several various artists compilations and they have also scored the soundtrack music for two independent films: 'Electric Blood' by Evan Devine and 'Mall Crawlers' by N.O. Smith, both of which were released in the winter of 2008.

Over the past 4 years the group has promoted it's work through 9 different domestic tours that have found them performing all over America at a wide variety of venues, including most recently a 2 month long coast to coast US tour.

Around Christmas of this year Human Host's 4th full length (Creature Mountain) will be released by Firecracker Firecracker Records both as a digital download and on c.d.
