A day in the life of… Home Counties
Home Counties let us in on what they're up to.
You know what’s easier than following around your fave pop stars, day in, day out, to see what they’re up to right that minute? Asking them. This month, we nab Will Harrison (vocals/guitar/keys) from Home Counties.
7:30AM → Wake up and disgruntledly wait in line for my five other housemates to get out of the fucking shower.
8:00AM → Finally shower, only taking like 5 minutes because I’m not an inconsiderate arsehole.
8:45AM → Get out of the shower and get over my daily resentment at my fellow band members. I spend a few minutes looking up at the gaping hole in the downstairs ceiling, below where the shower leaks, and note its impressive growth since last night. Conor [Kearney (guitar/vocals)] Aeropresses the coffee.
8:50AM → Realising that I’m really late, I speed-make two Marmite sandwiches (one normal for breakfast, one with cheese for lunch), pour the coffee into a travel cup and leg it to the overground station.
8:55AM → Arrive at the overground and wait at the platform for three successive trains that never arrive. Teams message my manager saying I’m going to be late due to a water leak or that I had to let a builder in - whatever takes my fancy that day.
9:30AM → When the train arrives, I aggressively jam myself onto the rammed carriage, avoiding eye contact with disgruntled fellow passengers. Putting on a centrist dad podcast, I start simultaneously reading the Guardian, taking in no information from either source but feeling content with a comforting vibe of metropolitan liberalism.
