Earlier this year we proclaimed Honkies Are Your New Favourite Band… and d'you what? We stand by that.
Every feverish, packed out show the group play wins them more fans, a mixture of jaded punks, dis-satisfied indie fans, and plain weirdos out for a good time.
Ribald country-punk anthems channelled through broken synth hardware, Honkies are like a robotic Hank Williams attempting to re-create a Cramps track.
New single 'Kicking And Screaming' is an ode to the joys of being alive, from the thumping backbeat to the squelching one finger synth riffs and the rattling reverb-drowned guitars.
The way the vocal yelps "ain't nobody here gonna understand…" makes it's pretty damn clear that no one is getting out of here until Honkies get their point across.
We've got first play of the video, and it's bold, blunt aesthetic perfectly matches Honkies' vivid sledge-hammer approach.
Tune in now.
