HOME FRONT (CAN)
"High moments of perfectly patinad synth brilliance, tender new wave considerations, and punk anthems that could fill the biggest stadium. The Champagne, the gluebag, the boots, and the eyeliner, HOME FRONTs GAMES OF POWER clutches to it all." A distinct sound is made when freshly polished Dr. Marten boots crunch through the snow in the frozen tundra of northern Canada. When the hum of traffic is low the boots make a hard rhythm on the cold concrete. Welcome to HOME FRONT, a beat and a sound unique to a working class city like Edmonton, Alberta. For seasoned DIY Punk musicians Graeme MacKinnon (No Problem//Wednesday Night Heroes) & Clint Frazier (Shout Out Out Out Out/Wet Secrets/Physical Copies) Home Front is the place, the medium, the perfect clash of Oi! Punk with 80s Synth Pop to create the new style of shoe gaze, or in this case, Boot Gaze.
GAMES OF POWER, Home Fronts debut full length on North Londons LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS is the document, the main course to 2021s Think of the Lie six song appetizer, the summation of making music during a global pandemic and
political unrest. In a province like Alberta, Home Front is the alternative, a focus for a different future. With the help of Polaris Prize winning producer Jonah Falco (Fucked Up/Career Suicide/Jade Hairpins) and Canadian Juno nominated
Nik Kozub (Shout Out Out Out Out), Home Front have achieved a sound that takes nods from later BLITZ, early NEW ORDER & THE CURE and fuses it with their geography. Home Fronts sound is beautifully flawed, but what original music isnt? RAMONES. STOOGES. SUICIDE. JOY DIVISION. All of these shouldnt work but do and so does Home Front and their new wave of Boot Gaze.
Pounding drum machines with Clint Fraziers sweeping synth hooks, Ian Rowleys clanging guitars, Brandi Strauss & Warren Oostlanders bulldozer bass & drum rhythm section drive the sonic assault of Home Fronts live show. With high flying kicks, Graeme MacKinnon prowls the stage like a panther, bringing a ferocity uncommon in todays Post Punk scene. Playing sold out shows across Canada with bands like FUCKED UP, S.H.I.T & CHAIN WHIP as well as crushing audiences overseas at last years Static Shock in London. Home Front are prepared to take on the world one stage at a time.
