X2 LP
Celebrating its 11th anniversary this year, in 2023 Home Brew’s timeless 2012 self-titled debut album remains the most accurate snapshot encapsulating our disenfranchised generation growing up in Aotearoa. From its right wing rejection (‘Listen To Us'), to its political commentary on the inequity of our tax system, poverty, and working class rights (‘Benefit’, ‘Dedicated To’), to Tom Scott’s transparent portrait of the realities of growing up in Aotearoa from addiction, to mental health, to loss, religion, and climate change (‘Alcoholic’, ‘Basketball Court’, ‘Bourbon & Coke’), the classic record still stands as an accurate reflection of today's climate in Aotearoa - amplified tenfold in the climate of our 2023 election 11 years on from National’s John Key era reign.
