From Home from Home (2002). Home from Home is the fifth album by Swedish punk band Millencolin, released on 12 March 2002 by Burning Heart Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Millencolin's other songs from Home from Home, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
