If Blink-182 was brought off the Wish website then that is what you get with an act like HOMECOMING. Whose time together has had them release 3 EP's, with an all new song expected soon enough. Some shows have been played with a tour set for the following year. The band talks about all of this right below!
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
The band was formed in 2017 by Michael and former frontman Shawn Booker. Chelsea joined on Bass shortly afterwards at the start of 2018, with Matty joining on Drums in the June of the same year. The band played with former guitarist Sam Ryan until his departure in 2022 where he was replaced by Paul Kedwards. Michael had previously played in pop punk bands “Platypus Duck” (2004 to 2011), then Viva La Revolution (2012-2015). Chelsea previously played in the band “We Knew All Along” from its inception till its end. Homecoming was Mattys first band. Paul had played previously during his college/uni years, then made his triumphant return to music by taking his place in Homecoming after starting a family.
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
In the very first Homecoming practice there was a poster for “Spider-man – Homecoming”.
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We are based in the West Midlands (Stafford/Rugeley/Burntwood and Appleby Magna). Most of our shows happen around Birmingham. The pop punk scene around here is currently thriving and incredibly supportive! Other bands that we would absolutely recommend are, Chasing The Fall, Portside, Beach Front, Roomates and Lunar Hijack.
4. How would you describe your style?
Luckily a nice commenter on TikTok described our sound perfectly. We have been described as blink-182 from Wish. We think that fits our style and sound really well.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We have released 3 EPs (The World Will Never Be The Same - 2022, Taking The Mickey – 2023, Pop Punk From Wish – 2024) .
With our latest release they can expect to hear great harmonies, loads of energy, 80s style synth, orchestral elements and lots of emotion.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
We have a new music video due out now for our song DKMS. It’s written by Michael about his experiences and feelings being a Stem Cell donor for the charity DKMS. The video was recorded by Ironside Studios and is a continuous shot style video!
We have a new single currently being mixed and mastered, due out around the end of the year/start of next year, and some un recorded material that is currently being worked on!
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
We always have at least 2 shows booked a month, and are looking at doing a summer tour next year!
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
Record more, play more, and absolutely we’d love to get on at some Festivals! Victorious, Leeds, Slam Dunk, Rebellion, 2000 Trees, just to name a few!
9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
All our music is available on all streaming sites and YouTube. Merch can currently only be purchased from our live shows.
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
We’d like the listener to go away remembering the lyrical content and meaning behind the songs. We’d like them to want to share what we do with their friends and families.
