Track of the Day: Wasps vs Humans - ‘Price You Pay’

Wasps vs Humans have released their new double single ‘Price You Pay’.

The first side of the single is a folk rendition that feels soulful with its inclusion of the harp from Mairead Kelly. While the other side is an indie pop version with punk undertones. Both adaptations highlight the band's multi-instrumental skills and melodious singing.

The band consists of the married couple, Carl Antony Plover and Linda Plover. Carl Antony Plover originally started out with a solo career as a punk poet and drummer. He shared the stage with artists like John Cooper Clarke, Christy Moorem, Whipping boy and more.

He released an album and single with 80s band 4,000,000 Telephones and gained critical acclaim in the UK national press and made the playlist on BBC radio’s John Peel show. When he and his wife, Linda Plover, started collaborating they were able to create the distinctive Wasps vs Humans sound.

The band will be playing a small Irish tour with a total of four shows across Ireland. The first is on April 25 in Dundalk. The following three shows will also feature Jinx Lennon. Wasps vs Humans will be in Cork on May 10, Dundalk on May 17 and Ballyferriter on June 1.
