Most bands shun comparisons to other bands. They’d prefer to be known for their own virtues and don’t want any intimation that they’re “unoriginal”. Personally, I appreciate when critics cite a comparison because it gives me a reference point. But if the comparison is wrong or does a disservice to the band, I too am disillusioned. It’s with this caveat that I make a comparison that I’ve never made before. Home Video shares a passing fancy for In Rainbows era Radiohead. There, I’ve said it. I’ve just compared a band to my favorite band in the world. It’s a lofty pedestal to be placed upon and HV have a long road ahead, but this the sound of a band who completely eschew traditional pop songwriting structure. Multi-rhythmic, challenging, beautiful, epic music that spins you round the room, leaves you dazed and yearning for more.

Collin Ruffino and David Gross are New Orleans transplants, living in New York City. Since their first ep’s were released in 2004, they’ve created a series of great releases before releasing their lastest ep as a free download from their website (http://www.homevideo.fm/). The duo took some time to answer some questions this week.
