The Honey Brothers Sweeten Summer

New York's exuberant "new wave folk" group The Honey Brothers are ready to release their 'Demonstration' EP digitally June 16th. It's a 4-song mini soundtrack to the summer that "infuses true lyrical poetry into massive melodies" (ARTISTdirect).

The EP kicks off with the joyful indie-rock jam "Demonstration," followed by the Tropicalia-inflected ukulele sing-a-long "Moonlight." The Honey Brothers pay homage to The Cure's new-wave pop on the synth-heavy "Won't Last Long" and close the EP with the Gang of Four inspired dance-rock anthem "Perfect Parent."

Josh Baron of Relix Magazine observed that "the secret to the band's success... is that they know how to write catchy tunes that are unabashedly indebted to pop-rock royalty while making them entirely their own."

The Honey Brothers are:
Dory Honey (Andrew Vladeck) - Banjo / Vocals
Honey DuContra (Adrian Grenier) - Drums /Vocals
H. Huckleberry Honey (Ari Gold) - Ukulele / Vocals
Dr. J Carl Honey (D.S. Posner) - Guitar / Vocals
