Honeyblood are singer/guitarist Stina Tweeddale and drummer Shona McVicar from Glasgow. Their first EP ‘Thrift Shop’ was recorded in a bathroom (the very definition of lo-fi, surely) and fifty copies were released on cassette tape only to be sold out almost immediately.
The duo make heartfelt, dreamy, garage rock songs with the kind of lyrical content that will speak to many. On Honeyblood’s latest effort ‘Super Rat’, Stina sings in a veiled way about a relationship gone bad. The lyrics are soundtracked by a big guitar sound the band describe as “Crunchpop”. It’s a description that fits nicely: There is most definitely a certain crunch to their otherwise ‘spiky’ guitar-led efforts.
Honeyblood play Henry Cellar’s Bar in Edinburgh on the 21st July and Brighton’s Green Door Store on the 27th July.
