Album Review : Honey Joy - II

Musician : Honey Joy
Album : II
Date Release : September 4th 2020
Publisher : Everything Sucks Music

Ur next review comes from ur favorite UK band, Honey Joy. As I told you before, year 2020 might be all hell breaks loose but thankgod so much bands put out new music and new records though everyone seems so confuse about how to promote them cause its been impossible for everyone to do a tour, whether locally or even abroad. Honey Joy has been ur favorite humas since they put out their first EP ever entitled 'Fixed Grins' and yes we found them on a bandcamp searching scene. Well I think any music fan or geek should give a special place or space for bandcamp for being main cannal of many good musicians, as well this place is being a somekind of 'bridge' for many bands to connect their music toward many faces on this earth! I hope you, the reader of this review, are being agree with me hehe...

So far the band has produced 2 EP's, 2 full lengths, and a split with a Virginia based indiepunk band, Bat Boy. The band has also made their international leaping by playing on Fest 17 that was held on Oct 29th 2017. Honey Joy has always produced a lovely record since the first day they put out 'Fixed Grins' EP and another record on the following years. As histories laid, the band has played hunderds of gigs with various notable scene's act like Sundials (Reunion), Bat Boy, Camp Cope, Joyce Manor, Lone Wolf, etc, as well as playing so much famous festivals like The Fest, Booze Cruise, Indietracks, etc.
The second full length, lets say I would like to say it so cause it is written only 'II' for its name, I may say is the best work so far if could compare to their previous records, EPs or the first full length. The second full length features more good songs, I would state these are the three favorites tunes of the full length ; Salluting Magpies, Acute On Chronic, Finally Home. The materials on this full length are contained by short and yet ass kickin one, so yes it takes several times for me to rewind and get contented lol. Short songs but good one has always been a furious weapon ever!
I do expect some moar for the band like touring on a further place orprobably could see them live someday (who would knows!) and moar tunes to be produced. The full length is released by Everything Sucks Music, ur favorite UK label which produced so much nailed records from bands like Bear Trade, Milk Crimes, Wolf Girl, Misfortune Cookie, etc. The record is available physically on vinyl and yeah they made a bundling offer with their previous spliy 7" with Bat Boy as well. Also the record is available on many digital outlets like spotify, deezer, bandcamp, etc.
