On January 23, New Brunswick band Homebase will rock again with the follow-up to their “Bold” debut. Bonded by their mutual love of pizza, booze and hardcore punk, Homebase was hatched in 2023. The new single—as written by drummer Chris Ochoa—confronts their self-doubt and creative pressure to following up “Bold.”

Singer Antonio Valentino: “Out of all the songs we have written, I believe `‘Nuff Said’ is the core of what we wanted to accomplish in our songwriting. The lyrics reflect our work ethic as a new band, especially in the midst of inadequacy that constantly nagged at us. That mindset can really damage how you view yourself—music becomes less inspiring, friendships feel strained, and even congratulating others can feel twisted. This song was our chance to confront those feelings head-on. It’s not about who you are that defines you—it’s about what you do. We love the hype it brings, and we couldn’t be more proud to finally share it [this Friday, Jan. 23].”
