Home Blitz
Mercer County, nestled in central New Jersey, is known for Trenton's pork roll and Princeton's prestigious university, where Einstein once pondered grand theories. Historically, it's a site of significant Revolutionary War battles. Musically, however, it was a relative void, save for the straight-edge band Mouthpiece. Then came Home Blitz, a group that defied expectations. Their journey from raw, self-released suburban power-pop to intricate art-pop is a testament to their creativity. Through releases on Richie Records and Mexican Summer, they consistently fused catchy melodies with unexpected, experimental detours. All Through The Year perfectly illustrates this, blending classic pop hooks with uncharted sonic landscapes. "Final Decay" mixes a familiar pop surge with unusual narration, while "What I Say I Mean" is an acapella folk song with a strange, ambient undercurrent. "Real Green" is a wild, genre-bending piano and violin epic, a unique take on folk tradition. Home Blitz's music transcends their Mercer County origins, delivering a truly unique and brilliant form of art-pop.
