But perhaps Dynamo Hum is a little bit Sonic Youth and a little Frank Zappa, in that all three have idiosyncratic tendencies to be different from the rest: Zappa approached his lyrics as a rock 'n' roll art form, while Sonic Youth does the same with noise.
Dynamo Hum is by far the most diverse, unpredictable band I have had the pleasure of working with.

Although Hum is known for being one of the loudest bands in the U.S. and I was a mere 20 feet from the stage, my earplugs had to come out for this song and stayed out for the rest of the show.
