Honey. - "Can't Be On The Record"

This new single "Can't Be On The Record" by Honey. has been getting a lot of play on Bitter FM already. The Wellington four piece band have only existed for a matter of months and this is their first single.... and on the strength of this song, that's an amazing achievement.

The 80s sound is obvious but at the same time it isn't overbearing - I liken it to 'She's So Rad' when they go with the 80s vibe.

The song focuses on the period just after a relationship breakup and the desperation they both have - but in differing ways or motives. She's desperate to move on and forget all about him and the bad relationship. For him though, the desperation is the opposite - but for a more sinister reason. He thinks the best way to hide his shameful behaviour is to keep the relationship going. So this "Can't Be On The Record".
