SONG: "Broken Home"
ARTIST: Strike Twelve
ALBUM: "Born Naked Die Naked"
YEAR: 2006
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Temecula, California
YEARS ACTIVE: 2003 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Broken Home" appears to be a song about how divorce can have a negative impact on families. Obviously, this creates a broken home. The vocalist speaks of how the now single mother struggles to work to provide for her kids, who now don't have a father. Of course, the kids now have to deal with the emotional pain and the mom just can't seem to get the help she needs, even from her own parents. Sadly, this happens to way too many families all across the country.

MY THOUGHTS ON STRIKE TWELVE:
Strike Twelve formed as a band back in 2003. This Temecula, California band started when the members were still just sophomores in high school. The band's first release was an EP titled "Born Naked Die Naked" in 2006. From there the band inked a long term deal with Felony Records. They dropped their first full length studio debut album in 2009 called "Killing California". Strike Twelve started gaining some buzz in the California punk scene with their energetic songs and raucous live performances. In 2012, Strike Twelve dropped their sophomore effort, "Moonshine". 2015 saw the release of "Huminsanity" while 2017 saw the release of their most recent studio album, "Down With The Ship". In 2018, the band released their very first live album, "Does It Live" through their bandcamp page. As I said earlier, Strike Twelve is a very energetic band. You could really hear a band maturing from album to album without losing any of their youthful spunk! I first heard of Strike Twelve when "Killing California" came out in 2009 and to this day, the title track is still my favorite song by them. Overall they are a very good punk band, maybe a little lite lyrically. Definitely worth a listen for sure.
