Human Drama is an American alternative rock/gothic rock band led by singer/songwriter Johnny Indovina formed in 1985. With Indovina the only constant member, the band released six studio albums before splitting in 2005. They reformed for concerts in 2011 and 2012, and again in 2015.
Indovina began his career in New Orleans in 1980 in the Models. In 1985 he had relocated to Los Angeles where he formed Human Drama, which quickly became prominent in the "Scream Scene", which developed around an underground LA club called Scream.
Human Drama was signed to RCA Records in 1988. They released both an EP, Hopes, Prayers, Dreams, Heart, Soul, Mind, Love, Life, Death, and an album, Feel, a year later.
Human Drama signed next to Triple X Records, and released The World Inside in 1992. A video for "This Tangled Web" was directed by long-time friend, roadie and tour manager for the band, Dave Eddy. The album proved so popular that Triple X eventually released a companion six-video compilation which included detailed narration from Johnny Indovina.
Pinups, a collection of cover songs, was released in 1993, followed by the Human Drama EP in 1994, and Songs of Betrayal in 1995, both on Projekt Records. In 1998 14,384 Days Later, a live, career-spanning retrospective was released on both Hollow Hills/Triple X and the Mexican Opcion Sonica label. A book of Indovina's lyrics, My Bag of Secrets (The Words of Human Drama)|My Bag of Secrets...the Words of Human Drama, was published in 1997. The following year brought Solemn Sun Setting, the band's seventh album, and in 2000, Triple X released The Best of Human Drama...In a Perfect World.
