HOME COUNTIES

5 QUESTIONS HOME COUNTIES

WHO ARE YOU?

I’m Will from the rock group Home Counties.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I play guitar and sing (questionably). Collectively we make wonky pop songs about 60’s buildings and village greens.

WHY DO YOU DO IT?

After watching School of Rock in our youth there was no looking back on the path of band life. We’ve moved on a little from Sweet Child O’ Mine covers since then, but still end up playing the same songs we did 10 years ago at every band practice. At the end of the day, it’s a great activity to keep decade long friendships ticking over.

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?

We’ve just moved from Bristol to East London (traitors), so we are all trying to get used to the hustle and bustle of the big smoke. We are frequenting a lot of pubs and cafés to try and ground ourselves. We have also just finished our new EP 'In a Middle English Town', which is due for release in February with a new single coming out imminently. When that comes out we’re going on our first headline tour, which we are very excited about.

WHAT'S THE HOT TOPIC?

The hot topic at the moment in music is Wet Leg. We love their music and we met them in the Green Man car park in summer (before realising who Wet Leg were). They seem very down to earth and what they have released so far is a step above a lot of what is coming out at the moment.

Our new EP comes out in February followed by our first headline tour of the UK, culminating in a big show at The Lexington on 24th February.
