Announce new album ‘Watch It Die’ coming November 14 via La Vida Es Un Mus Discos. Performing in LA 2 Nights at Hollywood Palladium w/Cock Sparrer & Dillinger Four-November 22-23.

Home Front holds on to a particular kind of passion. The sort of thing that guides you – like a climbing vine steadily blanketing your bests and worsts, cutting through changes and impasses; victory and loss. This passion, their drive, is what makes a record like ‘Watch It Die’, their latest full-length for La Vida Es Un Mus, feel just right. Home Front’s nod to influences and the themes of their lyrics are direct and detailed while maintaining enough creative distance to feel universal and unique. The production has again been bolstered by a team of long time confidants making a huge and unique record under the humble and hard working circumstances of remote pre-production and choosing to do their recording in home studios in their home town in Edmonton, Alberta. For decades the duo’s Graeme MacKinnon and Clint Frazier have embedded themselves in grass roots music making, community building, and the overpowering ebbs and flows of diy punk. With band, formed in 2020, they’ve given their lifetime of experience a chance to distill and then power into this musically omnipotent project which equally conjures textured Tangerine Dream sounds in a film montage, or the pummelling soundtrack to the first steps taken towards winning the fight of your life. Its lead single ‘Light Sleeper’ sends energy waves rattling through speakers with all the urgency and volume of post punk/new wave/street punk. The track is available alongside a video which features a cast of characters including group touring members Brandi Strauss (bass), Ian Rowley (guitar), and Warren Oostlander (drums).

The architecture of album is simple – 12 songs of danceable, hummable, rousing and honest music that only this band could make. The emotion of this LP is what solidifies these musical notions into meaningful art. “For us, ultimately, this is music that comes out of loss and heartbreak and failure, but I hope people have a good time listening to us. You can get rowdy, you can get emotional, you can do whatever you want, but maybe with all of that freedom, we all take a second to reflect on all our fallen brothers and sisters and friends who may have slipped away.”
