TWO TONNE MACHETE – Home
Originating from North West England, TWO TONNE MACHETE is a feminist punk band featuring Emily (vocals), Ro (bass), Thibaut (drums), and Mark (lead guitar). Their sound is a fascinating blend, imagine the raw energy of Amyl and the Sniffers, the fierce intensity of Mannequin Pussy, and the boldness of IDLES.
In 2023, TWO TONNE MACHETE made waves on BBC Introducing and Radio X, with their first two singles earning strong praise. Lyrically, the band pulls no punches, addressing pressing issues that are more relevant than ever: misogyny, radical politics, control, toxic masculinity, sexuality, and the rights of marginalized communities.
A prime example of their sharp songwriting, TWO TONNE MACHETE presents their latest track, Home. This song captures both personal and political grief, exploring the deep ache of longing, loss, and the harsh reality of being unable to return home. Inspired by the suffering of displaced people, particularly in Palestine, it carries a powerful message.
Lead singer Emily further explains:
“The song is about grief and how it is to find a space away from that sadness. It is also about the current masses of persecuted people who have had grief inflicted on them, and had their home, land, and lives torn apart by lies and genocidal actions of those in power. And how they are never going to be able to go home again”.
An important message like this demands a sound to match, and Home delivers just that. With its powerful instrumentation, bold riffs, energetic drums, and commanding vocals, the track drives its message “home” in a truly compelling way.
“Home is a fierce anthem of rebellion, bold, unapologetic, and bursting with a raw “in your face” attitude.”
