Home Front announce new album ‘Watch It Die’

HOME FRONT have announced a brand new album!

The upcoming album, titled Watch It Die, is the Canadian post-punk band’s latest full-length and is scheduled to be released in November this year via La Vida Es Un Mus Discos. The upcoming album is the follow-up to 2023’s Games of Power.

Speaking about the album, Graeme MacKinnon and Clint Frazier share, “for all of us in HOME FRONT, Watch It Die comes at a very transformative time. Geopolitically, musically and in our personal lives. With friends and close family members dying, to massive uncertainty around the world, this album encapsulates what it’s like for us to step into a ‘new world’ where all the old adages of ‘everything is gonna work out fine’ feel like a joke. We watch rich people get richer while the rest of us struggle just to get by. We watch colonisers kill without consequence, and in an age of information at our fingertips we watch people choosing to be ignorant to what’s going on around them. 

Watch It Die speaks about our own humanity, a rebirth into a new world and how we can never go back to the way things were. We suffer for their dreams, but in saying that we must recognise the importance of our own community and look to energise them to build a better way of life. We have always been an anti-war, anti-genocide, pro-peace band. We are against crimes to human rights and all of those struggling through the horrors of imperialism. We stand with the people of Palestine and we stand with the Canadian Indigenous communities who struggle to uphold treaty rights as well as basic human rights like clean drinking water and generational trauma. One takeaway from our music is to make a safe space where our community can come together to air out grievances and find a better way to a new future.”

The announcement is accompanied by the release of a new single, Light Sleeper, which arrives alongside an official music video. Speaking about the track, the band share, “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.”
