"HOME FOR THE WEEKEND DIAL UP THE PRESSURE WITH 'FAST'"​​​
Broken 8 Published 2/28/2026
​
"Milwaukee’s alternative-rock trio Home for the Weekend have never been a band to settle for the quiet life, but their latest offering, ‘Fast’, feels like a deliberate gear shift into more aggressive territory. Arriving on the heels of their 2025 album ‘Dead Man Walking’, this new single finds the group abandoning any remaining restraint in favor of a sound that is as confrontational as it is rhythmically complex."

​
"'Fast' by Home for the Weekend hits like a clenched jaw finally letting loose, channeling pent-up tension into a driving surge of riffs and razor-sharp hooks. It’s fierce but focused, balancing grit and melody in a way that feels urgent, visceral, and impossible to ignore."

"HOME FOR THE WEEKEND GO FULL THROTTLE ON NEW SINGLE 'FAST'"​​​
V13 Media Published 1/31/2026
​
"Milwaukee band Home for the Weekend are back and louder than ever with their brand new single, “Fast.” Comprised of Derek Wiedmeyer (vocals), Nick Magestro (guitar), and Emmett Wood (drums), the group commands a sound that draws from ’90s alternative, early-2000s heavy rock."

"HOME FOR THE WEEKEND RELEASES NEW SINGLE 'FAST' — A POWERFUL PUNK ANTHEM THAT'S NOT AFRAID TO GET CONFRONTATIONAL" ​​​
Official Press Release Published 1/24/2026
​
"Following up their 2025 album “Dead Man Walking”, Home for the Weekend returns with “Fast,” a
single noticeably unwilling to pull any punches. Blending punk, metal, and alternative influences, “Fast” evokes
boiled-over frustration through drop-tuned riffs, seismic bass, and drum fills that feel like a punch to the chest. Equal
parts reflection and revolt, it’s not afraid to get loud, shake walls, and turn anger into a musical middle finger."
