The Home Team have announced details of their brand-new album, The Crucible Of Life.

Following a string of great singles lately, the Seattle faves will be releasing their new full-length on July 12 – and it includes plenty of those bangers as well as new double-single Roommates and Overtime.

Frontman Brian Butcher explains that the band’s pair of latest tracks are “two sides of the same coin. I’m not super into astrology, but I do admit that I identify pretty heavily with the descriptions of my sign of Gemini in that I flip-flop between two sides of myself. These songs are a conversation between those two sides.

“Roommates is from the perspective of a driven, organised and motivated side of me, and Overtime is the respective creative and passionate side. Both have their weaknesses and their strengths, and they can’t exist without the other, but they definitely get into shouting matches sometimes. Safe to say these songs mean a lot to me.”

See the The Crucible Of Life tracklist:

1. Turn You Off
2. Brag
3. Love & Co

They say that hard work pays off, and for Seattle’s purveyors of heavy pop The Home Team, they’re finally reaping the rewards after more than a decade toiling away. With a career-best album in their arsenal and a sold-out UK tour on the horizon, we sit down with mainman Brian Butcher to reflect on how they got here and why they had to keep on pushing – even when all felt lost…
