With the recent release of their sophomore album “New Moody Judy,” Brooklyn post punk rockers Honey deliver an aggressive collection of fuzz and wah-wah guitar-fueled songs. Opener “Wage Agreement” is propelled by a furious power trio wall of sound featuring an ominously tense bending guitar part and half pleading/half shouting vocals, reminiscent of early Richard Hell. Follow-up “Dream Come Now” amps up the groove to punk rock levels with a nod to the Ramones. The album’s title track leans on a heavy psych guitar riff and Iggy Pop Detroit city drawl. Deeper cuts like “Hungry,” “Bagman” and “Power” go for the high-speed velocity of an accelerated hyper-blues. Album closer “Peggy Ray” rides fuzzy bass, slashing guitars and smack-down drumming for nearly eight full minutes. The album is available on Wharf Cat Records and will be released with a party on Friday 10/13 at Alphaville. – Dave Cromwell
