sabukweli Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ordered this with a quickness. These guys are undoubtedly my favorite MI band right now, and I can say with all certainty (having been lucky enough to hear it) that the whole album is every bit as good as the preview song. I've shot some live videos of them too, if anyone wants to check them out. I don't think I can properly link/embed them with my phone, but my username on YouTube is Moonrulesnumber1. For what it's worth I think there are still copies of their split 7" with Bike Tuff available too. Both their songs on that are phenomenal, especially "Troubled Mind".

sabukweli Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Here's another new song. It's actually called "Shapeless" and is the lead-off track on the album. I like it quite a bit more than the preview song they posted. And for what it's worth, this is the old lineup with the old bass player. They've since gotten a new one who also contributes vocals and rounds out the band pretty well. TAKE NOTICE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Just got my copy today. Shit rules, and I'm going to say "I told you so" when everybody else quits sleeping on them.

hipsterasfolk Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 This band is pretty legit. I have their 7" Split w/ Bike Tuff. They opened for MOB here in Cleveland at the Church awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Both Homelife songs on that 7" are fantastic. I wish the Bike Tuff side would've come out more listenable because they're very solid too. I wish they could get a decent recording budget behind them because they deserve to put out something that doesn't sound like a rough demo.

hipsterasfolk Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm going to have to give this a listen again now. After the Kathy Griffin show of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
