As these two songs demonstrate, one thing The Home Guard really strive to do is incorporate a range of genres into their music. You’ll hear elements of indie, progressive rock, britpop, folk, glam rock, new wave, art rock, and a few more besides. For this reason, it’s very difficult to pigeon-hole The Home Guard: their favourite tag they’ve received on Last.fm is “progressive indie”, and they wish they’d thought of it themselves.
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 varied collection of influences, it’s no surprise that they hardly fit in with mainstream trends. If any of The Home Guard’s music sounds close to the current musical fashions, rest assured that this is purely coincidental!
