Home Blitz
Home Blitz is an alternative rock band founded by Daniel DiMaggio in 2005. Based in Princeton, New Jersey, the group is known for its idiosyncratic punk-influenced pop music. Musical historyDaniel DiMaggio, frontman and songwriter for Home Blitz since 2005, is known for what Pitchfork described as "genre-ambivalent" low-fidelity power pop with eccentricities that "flaunt his oblique streak like a point of pride" and "compel repeated listening."[1] As of 2011[update], the band included frontman Daniel DiMaggio, drummer Henry Hynes, bass player Jason Sigal, and guitarist Theresa Smith.[2] According to the Mexican Summer label, DiMaggio's approach to songwriting changes on each new record, with the result that no two Home Blitz releases sound alike.[2] Common threads include lo-fi recordings featuring DiMaggio's lead vocals, and "the sort of nervous energy that powered groups like the Feelies and Game Theory, two distinct touchpoints in Home Blitz's sloppy, floppy sound."[2] The 2012 EP Frozen Track includes five original songs by DiMaggio and a "reverent" cover of Game Theory's "Rolling With The Moody Girls."[3] DiMaggio recorded the 2015 album, Foremost & Fair, in a professional studio, unlike the band's previous material, resulting in clearer vocals and higher fidelity.[4] According to Vice, the album features "a noticeable UK folk influence creeping into the muscular guitar pop DiMaggio has become known for."[4] Pitchfork wrote that DiMaggio "spikes saccharine melodies with bratty little gestures, rebelling against his own compositional knowhow."[1] The reviewer described DiMaggio's breathy and "unapologetically affected" vocals, layered over a mix "saturated with shimmery tones: teeming harpsichord, zippy keyboard, sunburst acoustic guitar picking."[1] DiscographyAlbums
