The Human Value have been in Europe since the beginning of September and are scheduled to continue touring there until the end of November, you can check out their current UK dates at the link below.
Head over to the Human Value Media page to download Give Me (it’s a zip file, so if you are behind the corporate firewall like I am, and can’t download those at work, here is the mp3).
