Home Town Hero - That's How I Know

Hopping back in the time machine to 2002 a slightly rockin' album came out - Home Town Hero - Self Titled. It sounds a little grungy like The Exies and a little power-poppy like Rooney.

They had some minor successes opening for STP, Incubus and Weezer. Since then, they have completely fallen off the radar. Apparently there was some unpleasantness with their record label and they are now back under the moniker: Under the Influence of Giants. I gave their new LP a listen, i just couldn't get into it. I think it has validly been classified as disco-rock :)

Nick and I were giving it a thrash this week, so as an ode to the good old days I tabbed out the secret/bonus/acoustico track, as it appears no-one else has.

It ain't the most complicated tune on the planet but stay tuned for Niccolò Paganini's 24th Caprice next week :)

bon appétit!
