    Honeys is 36 minutes of an excellent band doing what it does best, approachability be damned.

    On the band's latest, they continue the move toward the tighter concision found on 2009's King Of Jeans, but unlike Pissed Jeans' previous efforts, there isn't a seven-minute dirge on Honeys. [No. 95, p.51]

    Four records deep, Pissed Jeans may have trimmed some heaviness, but they open space for discovery.

    Honeys is the band's ultimate thesis statement, grounding their past triumphs in cruel reality that, if not buffered by their expert sense of humor, would hit too close to home too many times to count.

    The cartoonish brutality of the music is fun as hell, and since Korvette is most often mocking himself during Honeys, it doesn't come off as hectoring.

    Give it a whirl, while not groundbreaking in any way, this is a fun listen. The band's melodies are more focused, and Matt Korvette's singing is a little more in tune. Cafeteria Food is one of those songs that sticks in your head for awhile, Cathouse and Loubs flat our rock. Opener Bathroom Laughter is a face-melter. Honey is good fun, take it at that.… Full Review »
