The Home Guard are an independent band from Peterborough, England. It's difficult to pigeon-hole them into any specific genre as they try to incorporate as many as possible into their music: you'll hear elements of indie, progressive rock, Britpop, folk, glam rock, new wave, art rock and a few more besides.

There's plenty more (two albums' worth) on the music page - all material recorded by The Home Guard will always be available to listen to for free, in full and in high quality on this website. As an added bonus, don't miss the free downloads.

The Home Guard’s main influences include Queen, Jethro Tull, Madness, Elvis Colstello, Blur, Van der Graaf Generator and The Beatles, but for a more extensive (and slightly esoteric) list, see their MySpace profile. By recording material based on the sort of music that they themselves enjoy, coupled with their rather quirky collection of influences, it’s no surprise that The Home Guard hardly fit in with mainstream trends. If any of their music sounds close to the current musical fashions, rest assured that this is purely coincidental!

That said, try not to let that put you off. Far from sounding like an out-dated confused mish-mash of styles, The Home Guard's music all comes together in a way that is bound to make you think, smile, and hopefully tell your friends.
