The Honeyrunners have released their debut album titled "The Honeyrunners." This album is one that really shows off the the band and their traditional rock sound. The band also utilizes the use of keyboards which helps to enhance their traditional rock sound. Tese guys have a similar sound to that of The Balconies or The Beaches, so if you like those bands, you could like this album as well. They have done a good job here. When looking at the recording quality of the album, this album has been recorded to a really decent quality. The sound is nice and crisp, while being able to make out everything going on in the recording. The instrumentation is nothing to crazy, you can tell the band can play, but nothing wild or over the top that gets your head turning. Now onto the vocals and the lyrics. With the vocals, the singer has a nice clear but traditional singing voice. This band, and the singing in particular don't really have anything special or unique to them on this album, but they can just can give a decent performance all around. We would like to see an element jump out though, to not just be another indie throwback rock band. With the lyrics, the band tends to go for songs about learning life, growing up, finding love after a hard time, music, and having the world crash down on you. These songs feel like the ups and downs of what can happen to you in life. It's nice to see a band that does this, as many bands make all sad songs or are way to happy, it's nice to get a blend. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get an idea of the album. The Honeyrunners have made a debut album that shows off the style and sound the band is going for. We hope that with the next album they can give themselves a little more identity, as we know the playing and music is there. We would also like to see this band around more so people can learn about them. Not a bad album overall and can't wait to see what is next. Give this album a listen to decide for yourself what you think about it.
