Published 2022-12-03

  • My Mother growled whenever I played a new rock album, 'Not AC/DC again!' One time my Father replied, 'It's Whitesnake, dear. Not every rock band is AC/DC.' Bless their hearts.

    Dirty Honey kicks ass. It's not the most original, but it fills a huge void in good-time guitar driven rock done expertly and with balls and passion. The more recent stuff is great, too.
  • I saw Dirty Honey here in Orlando a few months ago. They were absolutely fantastic. John Notto is a killer guitar player. They recently toured Europe playing with Rival Sons. That show would be about as good as it gets for current rock.
  • I’m a huge Dirty Honey fan from the beginning. I’ve seen them live three times now, all fantastic, high-energy shows! Marc has the right amount of charisma to draw you in, without ever coming off as unapproachable and ‘rock royalty elitist.’ He’s often in the audience now when he sings “Another Last Time,” which is just a fun, sexy, old school sounding good time…held my hand and sang right to me in September! This band makes me feel young again (I’m 51), and really that’s what I want in my music these days!💃🏻

    Intro riff: AC/DC “Rocknroll Ain’t Noise Pollution.” 2nd chord change: Clapton “if I could change the world.” Riff rock bit: Aerosmith “Love in an Elevator” (verse riff)
  • No genre is ever "dead" as long as it's being performed somewhere. Great stuff as always, Justin.
  • @book3100
    Even jazz evolves, and ppl still love the standards. Rock is no different. Things rise and fall, nothing really goes away.
  • @markpreston9453
    The BASS player, the 'solos' he plays under the guitar solos...The feel and groove, one of the best rock bassists

    I love this band. I always describe them as if Led Zep and ACDC had a love child that started playing Aerosmith songs. Coming to the UK in January!

    Ive seen Dirty Honey twice now (first time supporting Rival Sons, second time headlining). Brilliant live. Loved this breakdown of the influences. Their entire vibe is like a late 80s LA scene rock. If they were out 30 yeara ago they would have possibly been kicking it with the big boys then. Definitely recommend them live if you can see them.

    I absolutely love Dirty Honey! They’re very reminiscent to 80’s rock. Such talented musicians. They play and sound amazing! Can’t wait to see them live in November!🤘🎶
  • What i love most about these videos, is that you really get some insight into how incredible a musician Justin is. A true talent

    I was a teenager in the 70's and 80's and grew up, in my opinion, during the best time for music. I had all but given up on music years ago then stumbled into these guys recently. I will admit, they give me hope that rock isn't dead. Vocals are amazing.
  • My favorite hard rock band to come around in a long time. I tend to describe them to others in terms of early Aerosmith, GnR, and AC/DC. Caught them twice opening for Guns this year and excited to catch them in their own in February.
  • I'm 69 and yes, we need more young rockers, Justin H. is one of those helping the world stay in touch with that good ole primordial stuff.
  • Justin, you have a really, really great ear. I'm so freaking envious. There are uncountable numbers of kids in uncountable garages and basements making rock music. Rock is not dead. My impression of Dirty Honey is that they're great musicians with a wide range of influences. The first thing I thought of when I heard them is that there is a definite 'Southern Boogie' thing going on. The lyrics are not the strong point at this time, but the chops are there.

    "Another Last Time" is by far my favorite track from Dirty Honey.
