Northeast Wales trio Honeytalks have sprung to attention in the scene in quick order, with their dazzling blend of hooks, nostalgia, and a potent punk energy.
New single “Super 8” marries the best of the Drive Thru Records era with a punchy and contemporary pop-punk grit; the track will join spring release “Familiar Times” on Honeytalks’ upcoming sophomore EP, There’s Hope in Hopeless, out September 29, on Affiant Records.
Despite only two years in existence, Welsh wunderkinds Honeytalks have already landed acclaim from BBC Introducing’s Adam Walton and Bowling for Soup front man Jaret Reddick.
The high energy guitars and throwback emo vibes are just two of the reasons, as they intertwine deftly with whip-smart lyricism and a sharp delivery. Lauren James’ drums add a raw, punk rock rhythm, powering a sound that is equal parts urgent and melodic.
With the release of debut EP Over It last year, Honeytalks delivered a highly-promising rookie collection that would set the band in motion for a string of U.K. tour dates.
Not satisfied with the growing list of genre heavyweights already cooing over their sound, Honeytalks secured multi-award winning Phil Gornell (All Time Low, You Me At Six, Bring Me The Horizon) for production duty on their highly anticipated new music.
Upcoming sophomore EP There’s Hope in Hopeless embodies struggle, positivity, and triumph for those who feel marginalized and misunderstood. Mental health is at the thematic core of the new collection, but the overarching message is one of strength and hope, inspired by Honeytalks’ uplifting brand of melodic punk.
