Established in 2014, Home For The Day is a pop punk/hard rock band with members spanning from Taylorsville to Winston-Salem NC. HFTD blends the influential sounds of bands such as Fall Out Boy, Set Your Goals, A Day To Remember, Breaking Benjamin and more to create a unique and always different catalog of music to listen to. Known for their upbeat stage presence and use of beach balls/inflatables, Home For The Day is sure to bring a good time to any show!
In September of 2019, HFTD combined their passions for throwing a good house show and giving back to the community. House Shows for Hope has since became a staple for local artists of all genres to come play. They've raised money for people in the community, as well as partnered with Toys for Tots and local non profits. Starting in October of 2020, amidst a quiet time for the music scene, HFTD brought House Shows for Hope back in the form of live streams on Twitch with the help of Top Heavy Productions. These shows now happen a couple times each month, with HFTD only popping in for the quarter finales.
HFTD released their independent debut album in February of 2019. A year later, released the Reconstructed EP with Hobo Wolfman Records.
HFTD has shared the stage with SHIM, Madame Mayhem, Keep Flying, and Goalkeeper to name a few. They've also won a showdown on The Rise Guys' Brutally Honest Music Review.
Their Sophomore album Changes was released independently on May 13th, 2022.

Rock ballads are the perfect way to convey emotions through music, and if you're a fan of songs that pack an emotional punch, you'll want to check BOOTLEG MERCY's new song "Shadow." This song has all the hallmarks of a great rock ballad-- from its energetic and aggressive verses to its sad and introspective chorus.. but what really sets "Shadow" apart is its emotional honesty. This is a song about recognizing that a romance is dying, and it doesn't shy away from the pain and regret that come with that realization. The raw emotion in the vocals and the band’s musicianship combine to create a moving and impactful listening experience.
Recorded at Red Cat Recording - Peck, KS
