The Human Instinct are a New Zealand blues rock band that has been active since the late 1960s. The band has had more than 25 members and has changed lineups several times since its formation under the leadership of Maurice Greer.
They have released a total of seven albums and thirty singles. Their most recent album, Midnight Sun, was released October 2010.
The band is best known for their single "Black Sally" and their album Stoned Guitar, which features the Jimi Hendrix-inspired guitar work of Billy Te Kahika, professionally known as Billy TK.
On their return to New Zealand, Greer was signed by Pye Records and entered Peach-Weymes Auckland ASTOR Studios to record their first blues-based album, Burning Up Years, which was released in late 1969. Three of the album’s seven songs were Harper compositions. (The single, "I Think I’ll Go Back Home", was a blues version of Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere", but wrongly credited to Harper.)
During recording Barton was replaced on bass by Larry Waide.
Burning Up Years was recorded and mixed by staff engineers Gary Potts and Wahanui Wynyard.

Burning Up Years is the debut album by New Zealand blues-rock band The Human Instinct. It was released in 1969 and reissued on CD by Ascension Records in 2001.
The album's title track is a cover of a 1969 song by Birmingham progressive rock trio Hard Meat, whose original version was the B-side of their cover of The Beatles' "Rain".
"Blues News", "Fall Down", and "Ashes and Matches" were covers of unreleased demos recorded by New Zealand guitarist Doug Jerebine under his stage name, Jesse Harper. (Jerebine's original versions were belatedly released in the 1990s.)
Other cover versions on the album were The Kinks' "You Really Got Me", Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" (listed as "I Think I'll Go Back Home" and miscredited in the liner notes to Jesse Harper), and Ashton, Gardner & Dyke's "Maiden Voyage", misattributed to Maurice Greer.
"I Think I'll Go Back Home" b/w "You Really Got Me" was released as a single.
