Minneapolis, Minnesota outfit Household will release their debut full-length later this month. Formed just two years ago, the group has quickly made a name for itself playing a passionate blend of progressive punk with hardcore aggression, filling the sonic gaps between bands like Touche Amore, Turnstile, and Such Gold.
“Time Spent” is the kind of album that ignores what is expected. Incorporating elements of hardcore, melodic punk, emo, and post-hardcore, Time Spent’s influences are varied and deep, but shaped together in a way that is invitingly familiar. Intricate guitar lines weave in and out of heavy breakdowns, lightning fast drumming effortlessly flows into hauntingly subdued passages, and Gilbert’s powerful newfound singing voice holds it all together. The album’s title and main lyrical themes point to asking the sorts of questions that apply to any young person, yet are presented with such maturity and reflectiveness that they’re relatable to listeners of any age. What are we choosing to do with our time, how are we letting our days go by? For the members of Household, the answers have an inspiring simplicity; they’re trying their best to do what they love.
By the way, if you’d like to experience Household live, they’ve got a large handful of fall tour dates lined up , dates and locations are listed below.
