What does moderately distorted guitars, Salvation
Army men’s wear, and break up inspired lyrics
have in common? The members of The Honorary Title
in their latest release Scream And Light Up The Sky
employ all of these elements, and many more.
The Brooklyn based emo rock quartet’s newest
release is a well-crafted musical endeavor. Every
single track is lyrically vivid, full of gripping
language and story telling. The instrumentation is
also creative. The guitars are a blend of catchy rhythms
and perfectly placed riffs. The indie style drums
constantly flow with the music yet they never feel
rushed or make the music lag.
In a time where bands are as prevalent as opinions
about politics, The Honorary Title has made themselves
a place in the scene. Scream and Light Up The Sky
is a track by track documentation of each element
of the album. From vocals and guitars to drums and
bass, each instrument is well produced to create a
blending of all elements into one voice that carries
within it emotion, passion, and pride.
