Signal Home
A Fragile Constitutional
Carbon Copy Media
Grade: A-
Pennsylvania’s Signal Home pick up where Hot Water Music and Avail left off; there isn’t really much more you need to know to love them. Featuring raspy vocals matched with smart guitars, powerful vocals and enough harmonies, this is hardcore punk that sticks with you long after the record stops spinning. Signal Home grab you immediately with the opener title track – a two-minute all-star number that gets you psyched beyond belief. Consistent with more of the contemporary fair, and the fact that Carbon Copy is owned by Hawthorne Heights’ JT Woodruff, Signal Home also provide the screamy, melodic punk that has been beaten to death. Yet, even the inclusion of such numbers as “Two to Romance (A Story to Guide You Home),” “Rings and Fields,” and “Nail Your Colors to the Mast,” Signal Home push the boundaries beyond the ordinary. Highlights along the HWM vein include the brilliant “A History of Choices What We’ve Become” with a superb breakdown, “The Churches,” the terrific rhythmic solos on “It’s Time to Let…,” and the extended “Seaside.” Two words: fan favorites.
