HUMANWINE has received various nominations and awards. The band has been featured in articles in many sources including the Boston Phoenix,[2][3] the Boston Herald,[4][5] The Pitch, The Dallas Morning News,[6] and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette,[7] as well as being featured on the cover of Northeast Performer Magazine.[8]
HUMANWINE has opened for acts at both the Orpheum Theatre[9] in Boston and Webster Hall[10] in New York. They have also opened for the Squirrel Nut Zippers at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston[11] as well as headlining their own show at the venue.[12]
Their name is said, with tongue in cheek, to be an acronym of the phrase, "Humans Underground Making Anagrams Nightly While Imperialistic Not-Mes Enslave",[13] a reference to the subtly-coded lyrics that comprise most of their songs.
