The Columbus, Ohio quartet MY TICKET HOME—comprised of singer Nick Giumenti, drummer Marshal Giumenti, guitarist Matt Gallucci, and guitarist/vocalist Derek Blevins—is thrilled to release their highly anticipated new album, ‘PURE TO A FAULT’, today, November 21. This marks the first full-length album from the band, known for their powerful, unique brand of “puke rock,” in over eight years, a return eagerly awaited by their horde of devoted fans. Released completely independently, ‘PURE TO A FAULT’ is a true rebirth for the band and its members, blending the raw intensity and unfiltered emotion that first defined them with a newfound depth and experimentation that dives headfirst into darker, more dynamic territory.
The band built their reputation on their volatile mix of nu metal, alternative rock, and metal, dripping with authenticity and attitude. Ahead of the release, MY TICKET HOME reignited their connection with fans through four powerful singles, and even hit the stage once again for a series of intimate shows that culminated in a sold-out performance at The Crofoot in Detroit, supporting I Prevail. Singer Nick Giumenti expressed his excitement about the return, stating, “I am extremely grateful to be making music with my best friends again. Somehow, our time away from the band has made us into better musicians, at least in my opinion. I have re-fallen in love with heavy music during the past couple years, and I think we all wanted to bring a fresh energy back to MTH. No rules, no obligations, just write whatever we want and chase what feels good.”
The group also shared a brand new gnarly track today called “One for the Garden,” which features scathing riffs and more hooks than a tackle box. Giumenti also mentioned the freedom the band now has to create, noting they “all got our home studios up and running now, so there is nothing stopping us from creating whatever want.” The album is heavy, fast, and unflinchingly emotional, yet it also reveals a softer, more experimental side that reflects the band’s growth. Giumenti concluded, “I’m extremely proud of this record and it is a personal achievement for us, but there is still so much to do. As I keep reminding myself, this is just the beginning, not the end.” ‘PURE TO A FAULT’ is a homecoming, a rebirth, and a clear declaration that Puke Rock is alive and well.
