Release Notes:
We are Home Again. Its a statement about who we are as people. Home Again is the
result of a goal envisioned by David Gipson and Dave Edwards over four years ago
as sophomores in high school. Were trying to make music that people can relate
to. The theme of our songs is about the search for the definition of a Home for
young adults. Is it the place you grew up? Maybe for some people, but I think
most people would say its much larger than that. So were trying to tell stories
about growing up, moving out and beginning your life, says guitar player Dave
Edwards.
It is apparent that for the members of Home Again, David Gipson (Lead Singer and
Guitar), Dave Edwards (Lead Guitar and Vocals), Austin Burfield (Bass), and Rick
Thomas (Drums), this concept is becoming exceedingly relevant to them. All
college students, the members met at The Ohio State University and quickly
started playing shows around Columbus. This city has been so great to us, coming
from a place like Cleveland, it is a completely different atmosphere here. You
can meet people from all walks of life. It really is a great place to play
music.
And play music they have; Home Again has performed all over Ohio with many
different bands. They just recorded The Chutes and Ladders EP, a six-song
journey into some very real and personal narratives, including the song October
Revolution. Its about a good friend from high school who committed suicide, says
David Gipson. I wrote the lyrics to the song at one of the lowest points in my
life, however the song is about me trying to turn my life around. With a sound
comparable to Jimmy Eat World, Third Eye Blind, The Early November, and The
Starting Line, the band has high hopes for the future. Where we go from here is
the big question, says Dave Edwards. Were right at the point where bands are
made or broken. We plan on doing this for the rest of our lives, so this is only
the beginning, I think.
