BEHIND THE CONSPIRACY
This Homemade Conspiracy (also known as T.H.C) is a small-town band with a simple mission: becoming a full-time performing act! The idea of a band, but not the band itself, was conceived between the walls of apartment neighbors and friends, Chandler Price and Konnor Smith in 2016. They would crank their amps from their respective homes and jam out together. It was here where talk about getting a band together started. It was just an idea until 2021 when more friends came to jam, other like-minded musicians joined, and the practice space began to change.
From apartment to garage, to an automotive paint booth (the lighting was great), and finally to their personal studio where they currently reside. They compiled sets in 2022, and began playing (for free) that summer in backyards to friends and family, and then on to local bars and venues in their hometown of Plymouth, Indiana. As time has moved on, This Homemade Conspiracy has been nothing but dedicated to playing live music for people who enjoy it and turning their passion into a career. From playing one of the biggest county festivals in Indiana (Marshall County Blueberry Festival), to opening for national acts like Passafire, Hed PE, and UNCHAiNED, THC has found a decent amount of success, all while before releasing their original music! THC’s original material encompasses modern, alternative, and grunge rock influences.
If you enjoy bands like Fallout Boy, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters, then you will surely be a fan of THC. From themes of existential crisis and destiny to nostalgia and relationships, to just plain old rocking the house, the band’s music carries a variety of different, yet intriguing concepts that are sure to resonate with any audience! With future plans of bringing their music to you and your city, be on the lookout for any and all updates of shows, musical releases, merchandise, and events related to This Homemade Conspiracy here on the official band website!
DYLAN
LEAD VOCALS
Dylan Hall, lead singer of THC, has always had a passion for music. From singing at the top of his lungs as a child to performing in school choir and theater productions, Dylan has honed his craft and developed a powerful stage presence. Despite setbacks and rejections, Dylan remains dedicated to his dream of becoming a successful musician.
CHANDLER
LEAD GUITAR
Chandler has been around music and guitars his whole life. Some of his earliest memories are that of running around the local music store listening to Jimi Hendrix. When not performing shows and playing guitar, he is usually found hanging out with his pet snakes or reading Stephen King novels. Realistically most of his time and energy is spent on THC and consuming Big Macs. He says, “Nothing comes between me and a Big Mac except Big Mac sauce.”
TYLER
DRUMS
Tyler Petzke is 26 years old and the drummer of THC. He started playing drums when he was ten years old and always had a love for music. He says, “Some of my earliest memories are filled with songs such as Jump Around by House of Pain, Blue by Eiffel 65, and everything 80's rock.” When he is not working for the band, he works construction where he does just about everything it takes to put a house together. Tyler is a Journeyman plumber with HVAC certifications. “I’m so grateful for the group of people I work with to make this band a success. I can't wait to push farther and see where we can go,” he shares.
nick
rhythm GUITAR
Nick DePalma is 23 going on 53. Truly an old soul and yet, ironically, the band’s youngest addition to THC. Historians have concluded that he was born with a guitar in his hands. Growing up surrounded by music and artists, it was inevitable he would be bitten by the creative bug. His music taste ranges all the way from hard rock to smooth jazz. Nick has always found peace in music, performing to crowds of any size, and hopes to one day make a full time job of it. “Or end up making Big Macs for Chandler."
MITCHEL
BASS GUITAR
Mitchel has been playing the bass since middle school. He shares, “When Tyler reached out to me one summer, it was like life fell into place; it was perfect timing. It was out of the blue but it couldn’t have lined up any better!” Now, his forever dream of being in a band has finally come true. He pulls his musical inspiration from the bands he loves to listen to: Volumes, Dance Gavin Dance, Invent Animate, Sleep Token, Dayseeker, and Nothing, Nowhere. When he’s not with the band, and not working, he enjoys spending his time playing video games. His favorite games include Crab Champions and Overwatch: Bring Back 6v6.
