HOME AT LAST, based in southern New Jersey, delivers crisp and intelligent "snap-crackle-pop" rock music in the real "classic" tradition. Comprising guitarists Ernie Trionfo and Steve Shurman, bassist/keyboardist Bruce Pike, and percussionist Charlie Andaloro, HOME AT LAST has released four CDs, all on the indie Smiling Moose label: "Line By Line" (1989); "You Can't Fight Fiction" (1993); "Perfectly Good Cigar” (1997); and their latest CD "Radio Silence" (2006). In addition, they released a 4-song EP called "Warmer September" in 1992. They've won numerous awards, and have performed at countless "name" (and not-so-"name") venues on the East Coast, playing for the greatest fans an indie band could ever ask for. With the release of the most recent CD "Radio Silence," HOME AT LAST is entering a new era of musical adventures, and you're invited!

OK, that's the "official" blurb. Here's the more direct and personal version...
For 23 years we've been a band of musicians that stay the course wherever it leads. We don’t give a hoot about what’s going on around us in the business, because that’s all that garbage is… it’s business… which is all about the suits in the NY or LA or Nashville offices making big money off of “green” kids who don’t know any better. We’ve never been real popular with those business types because we’ve always tried to stand by our musical principles. Hopefully that integrity translates to people getting on board with us and enjoying the ride, because we’re going to a different place than a lot of other folks seem to be going. If you want to go to the same old musical places, hear the same sounds, or just want some audio wallpaper to play video games by, or to clean the kitchen by, or if you want some controlled noise to go along with your personal angst, then we’re really not for you.
I will say this: whatever we do and however we do it, it's first got to be something we’re all willing and able to commit to. And we learned a long time ago that whatever comes forth from our collective efforts, it comes forth in a time and in a way that none of us really expected at the beginning because this band really has a life and a way of moving all it’s own that we only have partial control over. But it’s been a pretty interesting ride so far. And no, it’s not too late if you want to come on board!
