The Home Team

The Home Team land at O2 Forum Kentish Town, London, on 8 November 2026. From Seattle, the band threads pop-punk energy into a sleek pop-rock frame, with an ear for vocal melody and rhythm-first grooves. Formed in the mid-2010s and first rooted in easycore, they set the tone with Better Off (2018), then opened the sound on Slow Bloom (2021), folding in R&B and funk touches through clean guitars, smooth vocal lines and syncopated rhythms.

On stage, that mix comes through with tight drums, springy bass, bright riffs and a singer who rides the pocket more than he belts. Sets typically move from the punch of the early material to the more danceable, polished cuts, keeping momentum without dropping the edge. It’s pop instinct with a rock backbone, built around hooks you remember and grooves that carry the room.

After a start with Revival Recordings and a move to Thriller Records, The Home Team keep working that crossover between alternative pop and the pop-punk lineage, focusing on concise songwriting, detailed arrangements and a live delivery that stays sharp from front to back.
