Love Is Hard

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Honey's 2016 release brings to mind the Cleveland highs of The Mirrors, Friction, Death of Samantha and onward. Something about the Brooklyn trio reminds us of a Lake Erie fish fry, with a rhythm section bearing down on the twinned howls that makes it possible to catch wiffs of the Dead Boys at their sharpest. "The tunes hit your head like a fox terrier shot from a bazooka. This is a great, hard-edged slice of rock noise that blazes with a light far more forthright than I'd dared expect." - Byron Coley.
