HOME, the upcoming full-length from the DIY hardcore juggernaut that is Middletown, Connecticut's THEY AND THE CHILDREN is now available for pre-order from Kill Normal Records. Go here for more info.

The official release date for Home is July 1st, but pre-orders will ship on May 30th. The eight-song full-length is available in both CD and LP format, with the vinyl version limited to 515 pressed (105 black, 205 translucent orange and 205 clear). Home is They And The Children's first full-length and the follow-up to the 2005 EP, Thoughts On Becoming A Ghost (Tor Johnson Records). The band has also released 7-inch splits with Daniel Striped Tiger and Towers. Expanding on TATC's brand of crushing, epic hardcore, Home is even more bombastic and vibrantly dynamic, alternating between thrash-inspired riffage, slowly-churning, ominous grooves and soaring, melodic interludes. The album is a testament to the band's commitment to the DIY community, as well as a call for solidarity between those of us who realize that society is becoming so commercialized that it can barely be considered a “culture” any more.
