Homework is a Glasgow-based indie rock quartet formed in 2020, emerging as a 'product of circumstance' during the global pandemic. The band consists of Santiago, Michael, Lizzie, and Andrew, who describe themselves as slackers with full-time jobs.
Their sound identity is a volatile blend of fuzz-pop and slacker rock, heavily influenced by the 90s indie canon, specifically Pavement and Teenage Fanclub. This connection was solidified when they supported Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub. Sonically, they prioritize the 'shoddy acoustics' of their environment, embracing the imperfections of temperamental gear and budget recording setups. This results in a warm, lo-fi aesthetic characterized by loping guitar lines and deadpan vocal harmonies. Since their debut EP in 2023, they have maintained a steady presence in the Scottish indie scene, releasing 'Easy Money' and 'Dummy Run' in 2024. Critical consensus views them as a spiritual successor to the C86 and jangle-pop traditions of Glasgow, updated with a modern, slightly cynical edge.
