How to Be Human is an indie rock band based in Seattle, Washington, blending reflective lyricism, melodic bass lines, driving percussion, and layered guitar-and-synth textures. The band’s sound is shaped by the dynamic vocal and melodic interplay of Christopher Israel Bishop (vocals, guitar, synth) and Sara Tebeau (vocals, violin, synth), grounded by the warm, expressive bass of Andrew Tisch and the energetic, nuanced drumming of Hatty Campbell.
Drawing from indie rock, dream-pop, post-punk, and modern psych influences, How to Be Human leans into contrast: intimacy and intensity, quiet moments and soaring climaxes, songs that feel immediate, honest, and deeply human.
Performing across the Pacific Northwest, the band delivers live sets that balance vulnerability with energy, offering listeners a space to feel, reflect, and connect.
