TWO TONNE MACHETE have palpably perfected the artwork of tempering scuzz with melody when alchemising kinetic alt-punk earworms that slither previous the ear canal and proper into the synapses and demand serotonin to fireplace. Lashed with distortion, charged with volition, and weaponised with vindication for the ache of people that can by no means ponder the idea of ‘residence’ with out feeling an agonising sting, HOME tears by the consolation phantasm in a means solely TTM might.
The North West-based feminist punk band have constructed a repute on placing unapologetic vulnerability into anthemic type, and HOME is not any exception. Channelling grief—private and political—by quiet/loud dynamics, grungy bass hooks and juxtaposing screaming guitar solos, this single hits the photo voltaic plexus whereas the message bites deeper. Impressed by the violence of displacement, with the brutality inflicted on these stripped of houses, lives, and identification, particularly in Palestine, the emotional cost isn’t performative; it’s carved into the construction and spat out by Emily’s searing vocal efficiency.
It’s simple to see why TWO TONNE MACHETE are thriving within the UK alt punk scene; by honed songwriting and rancorous abandon in all the proper locations, they don’t simply hit the spot, they tear by it and depart a sonic scar. With this single marking their first launch since signing, and the momentum constructing by a collection of 2025 exhibits, the stage is ready for a summer season the place no injustice will go unheard.
HOME is now out there to stream on all main platforms, together with Spotify.
