The Home Boys were a four piece rock n roll based in Knoxville, TN in the early to mid 80's.  They were comprised of Scott Carpenter on lead vocals, rhythm and lead guitar;  Stephen Wicks on lead guitar;  Kevin Crothers on bass and backing vocals;  and Dave Tumblin on drums, backing and lead vocals.  Most of the songs were written by Carpenter during a semester break from college.  The Home Boys put out one album, Nowtown, available below as a free download.  They also played a few shows before disbanding as members left town to go to out of state schools.      

Scott Carpenter later went on to play in What Alice Found and the Taoist Cowboys among others.  Stephen Wicks played in Awfully Anglo.  Kevin Crothers went on to play in several other bands most notably Sea Seven States.
