What's New: HoneyBombs
"HONEY BOMBS: Facing the Elephant in the Room with Ferocious Rock & Roman Swagger"
Imagine a sweaty Roman basement in 2012, buzzing with the kind of chaotic energy only a fledgling rock band can muster. That’s where Alex Rotten hatched the idea for HONEY BOMBS, a band that’s spent over a decade dodging lineup changes like potholes on the Autostrada. Fast-forward to 2025, and they’re dropping their second album, There Is An Elephant In The Room. Let’s just say, this ain’t your nonna’s opera.
Starting as a ragtag crew of Romans belting out “cheerful Rock’n’Roll” with a punk-metal twist, their 2017 debut Wet Girls and Other Funny Tales was a love letter to carefree rebellion. Tracks like Berserk (a radio-ready banger) fused gritty riffs with Andrew Skid’s vocals—think Bon Scott meets a caffè corretto. The album clicked globally, from Tokyo dive bars to Brooklyn basements. But behind the scenes? Chaos. Members came and went like tourists at the Trevi Fountain. Bassist Steelblade split in 2018; drummer Fabulous Fab swapped his drumsticks for a backpack. “Work needs”? Pfft, rock ‘n’ roll never pays the bills, eh?
Then came 2020. Oh, the irony—a pandemic named after a beer upended their rhythm. Drummer Mishman bolted for greener pastures, leaving HONEY BOMBS scrambling. But Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was their new lineup. Enter Dany Cool (drums) and Dottor Gain (guitar), injecting fresh venom into their sound. The result? There Is An Elephant In The Room—a 12-track beast that’s heavier, darker, and unapologetically loud. Imagine Metallica crashing a Tarantino flick, and you’re halfway there.
Let’s cut the crap: HONEY BOMBS aren’t here to coddle your eardrums. They’re here to blow ’em out—with style. Their journey’s been a spaghetti-Western-meets-mosh-pit saga: messy, relentless, and oddly poetic. The new album? It’s their “we survived Covid, lineup chaos, and adulting” manifesto. I’ve got my ears peeled for Berserk—a track that’s basically a Molotov cocktail of riffs and rage.
That “elephant” in the room? It’s not just a metaphor. It’s a middle finger to every setback they’ve faced. And honestly, who doesn’t love a band that turns drama into anthems? Keep your eyes peeled for March 14, 2025. And maybe warn the neighbors.
