The Home Team @ The Rave

The Home Team brought an infectious and high-energy performance to Milwaukee’s The Rave on November 30, 2025, delivering one of their most emotionally charged sets of The Crucible of Life tour. The band played a consistent mix of fan favorites and newer tracks throughout this leg of the tour; staples like “Turn You Off,” “Brag,” “Right Through Me,” “Worthy,” and “Loud.” alongside deeply anthemic cuts such as “Slow Bloom” and “Watching All Your Friends Get Rich,” drawing from their heavy-pop, post-punk-tinged catalog.

Onstage, The Home Team’s energy was palpable: vocalist Brian Butcher’s amazing delivery cut through the room, supported by tight guitar interplay and a driving rhythm section that kept the momentum relentlessly forward. The crowd (a packed house of both longtime devotees and newer converts) responded with enthusiastic sing alongs and an electric energy that intensified as the night unfolded. The vibe and flow clearly matched what fans have come to expect from this tour leg: dynamic pacing, crowd-favorite singalongs, and a setlist that balanced punchy rockers with emotionally resonant melodies that lingered long after the last chord faded.
