"Indie/Rock/Pop" doesn't really do The Home Guard justice - when you listen to our music, you'll likely hear elements of new wave, folk, progressive rock, Britpop, glam rock, art rock and plenty more besides.
It's impossible to pigeonhole us into any particular genre (though possibly the closest anyone's ever come is when they tagged The Home Guard as "progressive indie" on Last.fm). The reason for this is that we make the sort of music that we ourselves enjoy - and given our rather odd list of influences, it's hardly surprising that it doesn't fit in with mainstream trends. If any of The Home Guard's music sounds close to the current musical fashions, we assure you that this is purely coincidental!
With influences as varied as Queen, Jethro Tull, Madness, Elvis Colstello, Blur, Van Der Graaf Generator and The Beatles, you'd be forgiven for expecting a confused mish-mash of styles. But far from sounding bizarre, odd, or just plain wrong, it all comes together in a way that sounds uniquely The Home Guard. This is music that is bound to make you think, smile, and hopefully tell your friends.
Hey I havent left a comment on ur page in while lol. I'm loving your music, I'm a musician myself at uni and the moment so I know good music when I hear it :) plus you were influenced by Queen, Sparks an Madness my three favorite bands. keep up the good work guys!!!!!
cheers guys! it seems we follow the same philosophy, like you our influences are huge! they range from the genious of brubeck to the brutality of suicide silence and everywhere inbetween. I imagine it won't be long before the tap-inspired jazz odyssey appears on our myspace! had your tunes on while thinking about this one, sounding great!
Thank you for the kind words! I listened now to your new album and thought to hear some good tracks, but what I heard was better than good! Keep on your good work, Cheers G.
