Song of the Day: The Remnants - Nobody Home

By in News, Song of The Day | No Comments

The Remnants (not to be confused with Remnant, The Remnant, nor Remnant Militia) was a punk band originally formed in Alabama in the late 90s, but then transplanted to Chicago sometime in the 2000s, where they had a connection to JPUSA and Grrrr Records. The band was a part of a sort of hardcore punk revival that was taking place in the late 90s/early 00s, a movement that included bands like Headnoise, The Discarded, Combat Junkies and a handful of others.

The band’s early material featured tried and true punk sounds (no pop-punk here) mixed with a raw rock and roll influence, drawing influences from the L.A. scene (Social Distortion) as well as UK punks like the Sex Pistols, but with a more intense delivery than either of those. Later material also saw the band infusing rockabilly into their sounds.

They released 2 full-length albums and 2 EPs according to Discogs. “Nobody Home” is the title track of their debut 7″ EP, released in 2002. I had the opportunity to catch the band live that year at Cornerstone. That was a really great year for authentic punk that was Jesus-centered.
