Homebrew’s New Drop

After their gig with David Dallas and P-Money at O-Week, Home Brew have been busy recording and preparing their new album, Home Brew, touted as a debut double album conceptualised by the balance of life’s extremities. Released on May 4, it has two sides, one “dark” and the other “light”, and is described as a record that looks back at Saturday’s moment of madness through Sunday’s moment of clarity. I caught up with Tom (who handles the raps) to discuss the serious moral issues that we are faced with every day.

Would you rather…

Eat a shit flavoured curry or a curry flavoured shit?
I’ve already thought deeply about this one, and I’m going with the curry that tastes bad, because it can’t be worse than, brussels sprouts or something. And the shit is bad for you anyway.

Sell out or drive through South Auckland praising John Key?
I’d rather do the John Key thing.

Never rap again or never smoke buds again?
Never smoke buds again. Easy.

Goku or Vegeta?
See, everyone’s a Vegeta guy, but I’m a Goku guy. Like I love the underdog and everything, but I like how [Goku]’s a dude and everyone hates him for it and he has to keep working. I’m not hating on Vegeta though, I love Vegeta … But he’s always just trying to be like Goku and maybe he should just accept that he’s Vegeta and be the best Vegeta he can be.

Who would in a fight? A hippo or a killer whale?
But what environment are we in? I think I’m going to say … there’s just a fundamental law that these two would never meet, and would never be able to fight.

Sign to a mainstream music label or have your music played on The Edge?
Uh music label. Easy. Yeah because they can’t tell you what to do.

Head from a hot transvestite or a devil’s threesome?
(After much discussion about the dynamics of a devil’s threesome) Oh the threesome sounds way better … you know, me and the boys, high five.

Your dad catches you fucking your dog or your dog catches you fucking your dad?
My dad’s a very forgiving person. So my dad catching me.

Watch your parents do it 1000 times or join in once?
1000 times. They’ve probably done that. I can handle that.

Be the richest person on the planet or immortal?
Immortal, easy.

But then you would lose all your friends!
Yeah but then you could make some new friends. I think immortal is the better option.

A jug of cum or a shot of period blood?
The shot. Blood never killed anybody, I’m pretty sure semen probably has.
