Home By Nine came together in Toronto, the result of overlapping circles and a shared need to turn late nights and conversation into something louder. Vocalist Jakub Michalec began the project in 2021 with bassist Eric Mueller, moving from the idea of a solo act to a band built on collaboration. Drummer Anthony Frangione joined in early 2023, followed by guitarist Alex Hoffmann the next winter — solidifying a lineup defined by chemistry and intent. Now stepping into their debut era with their upcoming first EP release, Home By Nine channel alternative and indie sensibilities through songs that trade in ambition, honesty, and release.
