Home Counties are an English band based out of Bristol who have just released their high energy new single “Redevelopment.”
The 5-piece band creates a firey art-punk song that is highly moveable with Franz Ferdiannd-esque angular riffs to go along with some artful punk delivery of the vocals.
Find a bit about the creation of the track below, followed by the stream of the track itself.
“Redevelopment” is about town redevelopment. Lyrically, the first half of the song takes the view of 1960s redevelopers, with the second half addressing the tearing down of modernist buildings and replacing them with gentrified luxury flats. The song points out that these ideas of nostalgia, urban decay and progress come around in cycles. Fundamentally, it suggests that we should be as wary of arguments against redevelopment, as of redevelopment itself.”
