BLACK HONEY

“Ultimately we’re a rock band”

With IZZY B PHILLIPS (LEAD)

Since their inception in 2014, Brighton four-piece Black Honey have proved themselves one of the UK’s most ambitious, uncompromising bands. Their expansive 2018 debut, Black Honey, incorporated trap and disco alongside their own brand of fizzy grunge pop, and was accompanied by a saga of videos aired from a retro world of pink coffins, cowboys and neon-lit murder scenes. A rollercoaster of exhaustive touring followed, including supports with Queens of the Stoneage, Royal Blood and slots at Glastonbury.

Their upcoming sophomore, Written & Directed, was recorded in the brief gaps of that gruelling schedule; some of it was even written on the road. According to singer and guitarist Izzy B Phillips, it’s Black Honey distilled and on steroids.
