The July Crowd are back with their first new music of the year, a moving winter warmer doused with emo intonations. On "Like Home", The British Columbia trio merge a sharp hybrid of driving guitars and infectious hooks, as they tackle the personal grief associated with overcoming a broken home.
The alternative outfit have also signed to Manic Kat Records.
2021 debut EP Roses & Adderall showed the trio's potential, but it was 2023 effort Seat of Your Pants that clarified The July Crowd's status as a must watch breakout band in the scene. The sophomore collection showcased a potent and infectious soundscape, with driving guitars and catchy choruses underpinning the Canadian trio's embracing output.
The band's subsequent singles continued to develop and refine their sound, seamlessly sprinkling introspective emo tones on on their pop glazed punk rock. Crowd pleasers like "Complicated" and "Happy Ever (Afterthought)" would propel the trio into the speakers of alternative fans across North America and beyond.
Fans of Chief State and Real Friends will be captivated by the band's first release of 2026, their most introspective and least pop-punk leaning to date. "Like Home" is an impactful blend of building guitars, poignant song writing and soaring melodies. Photo courtesy of The July Crowd
