Initially a trans-continental experiment, homesic evolved along with the long distance friendship of the band’s two members. Despite being thousands of miles apart and never having met in the flesh, Mark and Joe share a similar passion for nostalgia which is evident in their musical style. Their music aims both to celebrate the magic and wonder of childhood, and to evoke the longing for freedom and innocence which was once felt.

Mark, from the United States west coast, has always been passionate about music, and was heavily influenced in his teenage years by both punk rock and indie music. Later developing an appreciation for electronic music, Mark soon became interested in creating and producing music. Mark has honed his musical production skills through independent research, online and elsewhere.

Also passionate about music from an early age, Joe, who is from the North West of England, was influenced by the explosion of the House scene in the U.K. during the late 80′s and early 90′s and also by Hip-Hop. Joe became a D.J. and worked in and around Manchester for a while, before dedicating himself to the study of sound engineering and electronic music production.

homesic have been compared to the likes of Müm, Fort Dax, Plone, and RATATAT to name a few.

Restless Heart Syndrome is homesic’s first EP and they are proud to be aboard Summer Rain train.
