Home Front

This is a 21+ event w/ valid ID at Soda Bar - San Diego.

A distinct sound is made when freshly polished Dr. Marten boots crunch through the snow in northern Canada’s frozen tundra. When the hum of traffic is low Dr. Marten boots make a hard rhythm on the cold concrete. Welcome to HOME FRONT, a beat, 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 Wave. GAMES OF POWER, Home Front’s debut full length on North London’s LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS is the document, the main course to 2021’s 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 kind of 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), Games Of Power has become an instant hit, beloved critically, smashing into an unassuming public like a scud missile. Meshing “Second Empire Justice” BLITZ, early NEW ORDER & THE CURE with their geography, Home Front’s sound is beautifully flawed- a new wave of Boot Gaze.
