The Homeless Gospel Choir – ‘This Land is Your Landfill’ (Hassle Records)

The Homeless Gospel Choir – ‘This Land is Your Landfill’ (Hassle Records)

Posted by | Jun 18, 2020 | ,

Before this release, The Homeless Gospel Choir was an act that fittingly rubbed shoulders with the likes of Frank Turner and Beans on Toast; similarly engaging in a cocktail of self-searching and socio-political lyricism atop a bedrock of folk-punk.  ‘This Land is Your Landfill’ is a rather different beast than expected.  Once the predominantly acoustic led solo project of Derek Zanetti, album number four adds muscle to the bones of The Homeless Gospel Choir by employing a full band lineup.  This punk collective serves Zanetti well for the most part, resulting in a sound that’s much more Weezer than Dylan.

Well, John B has to say this is a great way for a band to make their entrance onto a scene. Landing with five tracks that demand your attention. When doing his research he did find a band with the same name that split up in 2018. He’s pretty sure they are not the same but feels that he should warn us that when looking for the band there will be mixed results that can be confusing. That being said though, once you sift through you are rewarded with a great EP that takes on a more subtle tone than other artists in the genre there is a lot here for so few tracks – so let’s just get right into it….
