Canadian post-punk duo Home Front have announced their new album Watch It Die, set for release on 14th November 2025 via La Vida Es Un Mus Discos. Alongside the news, the band have unleashed the record’s first single, “Light Sleeper”, a powerful, driving, anthemic burst of post-punk energy with an accompanying music video.

Formed in 2020, Home Front is the project of long-time DIY punk lifers Graeme MacKinnon and Clint Frazier, whose decades of experience in grassroots music and community-building bleed into every note. On Watch It Die, the pair channel raw emotion into 12 tracks that is set to fuse danceable new wave textures with the grit of street punk.

The record follows their acclaimed releases Games of Power (2023) and Think of the Lie (2021), but Watch It Die represents a step forward. Lyrically MacKinnon and Frazier address grief, injustice, and transformation while grounding the album in solidarity with oppressed communities.

“For all of us in Home Front, ‘Watch It Die’ comes at a very transformative time.” MacKinnon and Frazier state, “Geopolitically, musically and in our personal lives. With friends and close family members dying, to massive uncertainty around the world, this album encapsulates what it’s like for us to step into a ‘new world’ where all the old adages of ‘everything is gonna work out fine’ feel like a joke. We watch rich people get richer while the rest of us struggle just to get by. We watch colonisers kill without consequence, and in an age of information at our fingertips we watch people choosing to be ignorant to what’s going on around them. ‘Watch It Die’ speaks about our own humanity, a rebirth into a new world and how we can never go back to the way things were. We suffer for their dreams, but in saying that we must recognise the importance of our own community and look to energise them to build a better way of life. We have always been an anti-war, anti-genocide, pro-peace band. We are against crimes to human rights and all of those struggling through the horrors of imperialism. We stand with the people of Palestine and we stand with the Canadian Indigenous communities who struggle to uphold treaty rights as well as basic human rights like clean drinking water and generational trauma. One takeaway from our music is to make a safe space where our community can come together to air out grievances and find a better way to a new future.”
