More New Honduras

hondurasHonduras are just a short week away from unleashing their Gathering Rust EP, not to mention a tour that will lead them through most of the US, including SXSW. Long have we championed the band, and we’re not stopping with this new crunchy jam. It’s got a lot of that garage feel that makes a band like Thee Oh Sees so enchanting; it just builds tension on the back of heavy riffs. Don’t let that mellow moment near the 2 minute mark set you off, as the band close out in emphatic style.

Honduras Ready Gathering Rust EP

hondurasWe’ve backed the Brooklyn band Honduras since they first came to our attention, and we’re really looking forward to their new Gathering Rust EP. They just offered up another glimpse of what it might sound like, landing in the same arena as fellow NYC acts Parquet Courts. But, don’t think that makes them mere copycats, rather they take it tossing out their own spin; the guitar chords are warmer (less angular) and the vocals are less spastic. In fact, I think I prefer this better (sacrilege you say!). Oh well, I’ll hand my hat on this set of tunes for sure. The EP hits on March 4th.
