Here are the questions I asked them and they responded right under them:

1. What inspired you to play music?

We were always a group of friends who's friendship was based off of our love for music and our second great love: skateboarding. We all have pasts that have their ups/downs and the main reason we got through them is because of the music we listened to. Ours, plus the favorite bands we listened to at the time. We honestly are here to pay the love forward to our fans and help people with their problems. Thus, help them progress and become the people they always wanted to become, but were scared what their family/relatives might think.

2. How has music changed your life?

It has formed us to these molds that we find now by starting to de-conform from the rest of the music scene. Even on a personal level it's made us better people, by enabling us to meet people who are great musicians and the nicest people that we have ever known.
On the contrary, it has also showed us the people we DONT want to be: cocky or shit-talking kids that have nothing better to do than to waste peoples time with senseless drama.

3. What bands do you listen to and how have they shaped your music?

If we listed all of them we'd be here all day (haha)
The main bands collectively we all listen to would consist of: Whitechapel, A Day To Remember, Periphery, The Air I Breathe, I Am Abomination, our local friends band: Adaliah, The Contortionist, For The Fallen Dreams, Volumes, Misery Signals, The Acacia Strain And Structures.
4. What advice do you have for others that want to pursue in music as their career?

Bottom line: "Have Fun and Don't Be A Dick". Just love what you do and do what you love :)

5. Where did you get the idea for the name of your band?

I (Tyler) thought it up one day when I was thinking of the message for the band. (To help people who need someone there to support them in times of need.) usually the occasions like that are at home. For me they were sitting in my room, Going though wave after wave of depression.
So with the battle you fight to maintain your happiness, I just though "The Home Front" fit perfectly.

6. What do you want your fans to know about you that they might not know already?

That we care about them and even the smallest things to help promote us is GREATLY appreciated by all of us here at THF. We Love You All ♥
7. What is racing your mind before you go on stage?

Just reminding ourselves to keep our cool and have fun. Thats what really counts to us and the crowd can tell when you're having fun. The energy is positive when the crowd reation is great, the pit goes nuts, everyone eyes is on you, and you have to remember to have fun. Don't ever leave your fans hanging either because it is annoying to see other bands do that. (haha)

The Home Front is not like any other band because they have you: the fans as their #1 priority. The Home Front does a variety of music that allows you to be your own individual, which to them is priceless :)
