To get the best idea about The Home Guard in the shortest time possible, have a quick listen to Champagne Socialist and Other People. The former is a bass-driven indie rocker with a Britpop and synthy new wave flavour, whilst the latter is a progressive folk ballad with pianos, flutes and a heavy guitar section - but try not to let that put you off!

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 , , , , , , , 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 “”, 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!

    Oh well, it looks like the full-length streams have gone from Last.fm - try here instead, if you're interested. You can download our albums for whatever you think they're worth, too, and for the time being there's no minimum price. Enjoy!
