Urban Homes started in 2008 in Cologne, Germany as an – almost exclusively – instrumental post-punk outfit, with first live appearances in 2009.The band recorded their first release, a four song demo tape in late 2010 whose tracks already hinted towards an electronic and more experimental musical development.
In 2011, the physical drum set was eventually replaced by a drum machine, having a huge impact on the group’s music.
Urban Homes have managed to craft a sound that is exploring the space beyond specific musical categories, embracing electronic music production, pop music vocals and rhythm based song structures.
