HOMEWRECKER

Matt Barnum, guitar


How excited is Homewrecker to be playing the A389 showcase next month?

We are so excited! We couldn't believe it when we got asked to play. The line-up is absolutely amazing, Dom did such a good job. It's also bittersweet because we are now playing Pulling Teeth's last show. We are very sad to see them go, but also pumped that we have the opportunity to play with them.

You previously released a split with The Love Below earlier this year, and have a new record coming out in February. How do you guys feel about working alongside Dom and A389 to release your music?

Dom definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to putting out a record. He's very chill about everything and is always willing to answer any questions we have. As far as working alongside the A389 roster, it's awesome. So many awesome bands are working with this label right now, it's getting a lot of attention!

Speaking of your new record, how do you think it compares to your previous output?

It's faster, heavier ,and darker. We are really excited to hear/see everyone's reaction to it. We've played a couple new songs live and they seem to go over very well. It will feature 7 new songs, featuring guest vocals from Dylan from Full of Hell and Tony from Masakari. 

What bands are you guys most excited to see at the showcase?

We are stoked to see every single band, but most excited for Full of Hell, Weekend Nachos, Integrity, Hatewaves, Low Places.

Scene Point Blank: What can we expect from your set?

A broken neck from headbanging so hard. [Laughs.] But, really, it's going to be a fun set. Short and sweet, some surprises, and maybe an Infest/Crossed Out cover if everything goes correctly.
