Humble Ary was a hardcore band from Denver, Colorado who were active from 2001-2005 and then briefly again in 2012. One member was also in the hardcore/screamo band Green Fuse and experimental hardcore band, The Kindercide. The band released three 7"s (one also released as a 6"), a split 7" with Bailer, and a three-way split 7" with No Cash Value and The Gromos.
Like their contemporaries and tour mates The Pine, Humble Ary was a back to basics emo hardcore band that reflected the sounds of the burgenoning 90s "emo" scene while incorporating elements of math rock and post-hardcore into their sound. They had a really refined, well-thought-out sound but were known for their driving, frantic energy and engaging live shows. They had a distinct groove to their chaos and complex rhythmic instrumentals. Their vocals are spirited and yelled but not quite screamed. They are reminiscent of Shotmaker, Policy of 3 or 400 Years at times with their melodic and methodic moodiness.
