Brighton 4 piece Black Honey have been mainstays of the indie scene for the last few years, having released a string of high quality singles that evoke influences as far reaching as Lush and Nancy Sinatra.
With the announcement that their long awaited debut album is finished and ready to be unleashed on the public his summer, the band have given us a new single to whet our appetites.
Bad Friends represents unchartered territory for the band, in that it’s in essence a proper pop song. Don’t get on your high horse though, they haven’t “sold out”. The swagger and attitude we’ve come to associate with Black Honey is still present and correct but the stylistic shift could open new doors. It sounds a bit like Charli XCX, a bit like Garbage, and a lot like a full blown instant classic that will be the staple of indie club nights up and down the country.
With the album in the pipeline, it seems Black Honey could be on course to be one of the biggest breakthrough bands of the year.
