Novatines - Honey — AliveandGigging

The Novatines are a Bathbased alternative rock four piece, they are Jamie Beale, Tom Cory, Callum Moloney and Tom Turner.

Formed in the winter of 2017, the band immediately made a name for themselves on the UK circuit with their anthemic, high octane rock songs, which saw them tour extensively throughout the UK and Europe on both headline and support tours, playing alongside the likes of Alabama 3, Arcane Roots, Von Hertzen Brothers and Sweet.

Novatines’ sound is a rebirth of classic British rock with influences from 90s American alternative rock and grunge. Influenced by bands like The Beatles and Foo Fighters, the group have been hotly tipped by Louder Than War as one of the ‘hottest new UK guitar bands’.

They released their EP Wasted Youth back in February and this is now followed up with the latest single Honey which was released today, Wednesday September 30.

Honey was recorded live at Real World Studios and was produced by both the band and Andy Scott (Sweet).

When asked about the track lyricist Jamie Beale says:

Honey is about seeing through fads, trends and short lived ‘next big things’ with no real substance. We live in such a throw away culture where we are told what we should like or dislike 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Honey is about taking yourself off of the conveyor belt and seeing things as they are.

Honey is a short blast of old school rock’n’roll track, rumbling guitar riffs and a huge drum beat set the rhythm and it is given some brilliant change ups with some humongous guitar hooks.

It’s a strong rock vocal and is in complete harmony with the instrumentation of the track and it’s got a great raucous finish when the track plays out to the repeated “Iʼm wrecking ball, wrecking balling………. Iʼm wrecking ball, wrecking balling”.

Honey is a no nonsense rock’n’roll slammer, it’s full of energy, you can feel the adrenaline and frenetic instrumentation as you listen, it’s a tune that will have you head banging along without a doubt.
