Brighton's music scene is renowned for its dynamism, and at its forefront, we find the garage punk trio, Honeybadger. This high-octane ensemble, founded in 2014 by brothers Joe and Eddy along with their mate Luca, have just released their latest single "Wakka".
Honeybadger's sound is an electrifying cocktail of garage punk, rock, and grunge, drawing inspiration from the likes of Drenge, Them Crooked Vultures, Pretty Vicious, and The White Stripes. "Wakka" encapsulates their essence, featuring thunderous guitar riffs, incisive solos, and Eddy's raw, gritty vocals.
Their reputation extends far beyond Brighton, with notable performances at UK venues and appearances on prestigious platforms like BBC Introducing, BBC Live Lounge, and Wyatt Wendel's 'The New Rock Show' on Planet Rock. Their previous single, "Cold Wind," even earned airtime on BBC Radio One's 'Future Alternative' Show.
Eddy, the band's lead vocalist, reveals their creative process with the statement, "Although I can see and understand what said person is trying to say, they need to make me believe." Their lyrics echo the sentiment that "actions always speak louder than words," resonating with a generation seeking authenticity in music.
"Wakka" is a testament to their unwavering commitment to authentic music, setting the stage for a bright future in the music industry.
