“This is one seriously good album, and how they’ve constructed the songs can only be admired...You have to give these guys credit for the amount of originality in their sound... This is great heavy and dark indie music at its best.”

AAPL.NL (THE NETHERLANDS)
“This debut album is captivating, at times both eerie, dazzling, and unique in that it is able to awaken all our emotions in a truly original and exhilarating way There is not one duff or filler track on the entire album The album is full of catchy choruses... Lyrically they are also up there with the best.”

UK-Fusion.com (UK)
"For there’s a new art-punk chanteuse on the block: The Human Value’s Turu. And, boy, does she measure up; to the extent that one suspects, were Beavis and Butthead exposed to one of the band’s videos, they’d be rendered blind. Possessing the capacity to monkey about with your heart beat, The Human Value is one potent arsenal of noise. Turu herself has special powers. She could give the most slumberous of men sleepless nights."

MusicNews.com (UK)
"The Human Value is a classic case of a band being more impressive, more varied and more affecting live than can ever be reproduced in a recording.".. "kept the audience transfixed until the last note."

HedMagazine (UK)
"There was Patti Smith in there, aided and abetted by Chrissie Hynde and a blaze at-a-textile-factory haired drummer to die for! This band rocked - in the purest sense.!"

ThePorter.co.uk (UK)
"This Human Value is about getting lost, throwing it all away for this beautiful rock n roll moment and if a band can make somebody else do that for one minute of their shit, routine-built, over-looked, systematic hell for a life then that is worth more than all the money in the world."

STV (UK)
"...this eponymous debut album is intense and atmospheric; creepy, sexy, and exciting. You'll be spellbound."

Get Ready To Rock (UK)

Incendiary Magazine (UK)
"It's a steamy little affair this album. It groans, it drones, it grinds and it'll get you all hot under the collar."

Alternative Nation
"These guys are the real deal."

Glasswerk (UK)
"...this trio of musical liberators from the West Coast, led by the provocative pitch of vocalist Turu, immediately erects a solid foundation from which to project their carpe diem message."

The Tube Club (UK) Live Review
“The Human Value kindly passed by our club and it was obvious that they had embarked on a tour because their music was so tight and purring along like a wild cat… All adept on their own instruments and fronted by a fantastic sounding female.”

RHYTHM & BOOZE (UK):
“The Human Value offer up a unique brand of music that far exceeds the sum of their influences, you can expect big things for this band so beat the rush and check them out now,”

CREEM MAGAZINE:
“Sounding like a slightly harder version of Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Human Value come out swinging on their self-titled debut.“

CRAVE MAGAZINE :
“With comparisons to groups such as Blondie to the Ramones and the Talking Heads, The Human Value … exploit their old school influences but push forward with their own sound that will set the standard for years to come. Definitely check out The Human Value and find out why this duo is making a scene and look for them to be around for years to come. “

JOINTZ MAGAZINE: 
“There is something undeniably nostalgic about the music of The Human Value. It is reminiscent of everything good about the 80’s: driving beat, dark synths, smoldering vocals, and intense lyrics. But this is no retro band.”

BRUISE MAGAZINE:
“The Human Value possess a sound all their own and are driven by extreme passion for communication through music. The Human Value is truly a labor of love.”

SLUG MAGAZINE:
“Think guitars so laden with splendid buzz that they'd give the Raveonettes a run for their money; vocals veering between Blondie 80’ s new wave, PJ Harvey sensual know-how, Siouxsie Sioux wailing and Chrissie Hynde earthy maturity. This is going in my Top 10.”
 
POPENTERTAINMENT:
“The Human Value would fit into the CBGBs scene pricelessly.
They recall such classic bands as the Ramones, the Talking Heads and mostly early Blondie.”
