Home Front (band)

Home Front is a Canadian post-punk band from Edmonton, Alberta.[1]

Formed by Graeme McKinnon, formerly of Wednesday Night Heroes, and Clint Frazier of Shout Out Out Out Out,[2] the band released the EP Think of the Lie in 2021 and followed with their full-length debut album Games of Power in 2023.[3] Blending both punk and new wave influences into a style reminiscent of Echo and the Bunnymen[1] and The Cure,[2] the album was produced by Jonah Falco of Fucked Up and mixed and mastered by Frazier's Shout Out bandmate Nik Kozub.[3]

Games of Power was longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize.[4]
