Band's lyrics have powerful impact
By Louise Stauffer Jayplay writer
The social consciousness of Honey Tongue's music is what separates the band from the leagues of mindless rockers ruling the airways — especially since last month's terrorist attacks.
"Since the tragedy on the 11th, the amount of impact that our shows are having on people is amazing," said Graham McNeill, guitarist for Honey Tongue.
"Our shows are having such an effect on people," McNeill said. "It's like the times are catching up with us."
guitars for him. Although the band's method of exploring music through social issues may have set them out of the popular music loop at first, McNeill said, things might be changing.
The Seattle-based foursome includes McNeill, guitar, Jen Ayers, lead singer and keyboard, Sam Larson, bass and vocals, and Darton Lewis, drums.
Honey Tongue's lyrics—such as the ones that deal with the origins of youth violence—may be powerful, but it's the combination of passionate lyrics, a solid rock sound and a talented lead singer that makes Honey Tongue a great band.
One of Honey Tongue's strengths is the voice of lead singer Jen Ayers. The Milwaukee native has been compared to musicians ranging from Fiona Apple to Eddie Vedder.
Although Ayers said she was flattered by the comparisons, she said she had problems with them.
"Definitely it's flattering to compared to people I admire, but the danger is that I need to be my own artist." Ayers said. "I am who I am."
Although Ayers' singing may be compared to Apple, her energy is similar to the raw, commanding voice of Janis Joplin.
Ayers' voice hits hard and tugs at emotions without overpowering the music.
The band's self-titled EP showcases four songs that exemplify the quartet's specialties. Ayers' voice is especially reminiscent of Fiona Apple's in the song "Released," and is more broody and soulful in songs such as "Like Diamonds" and "Ferocious." The song "New Beginning" has a hard-rock quality to it that sounds similar to a quieter Pearl Jam.
Honey Tongue tours the United States full-time and will visit Lawrence this week. The band will play at 10 p.m. tomorrow at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St.
McNeill said that although the band enjoys playing in New York City, they also love to tour college towns because that is where the band receives the best response.
The cost for tomorrow's show is $4. Honey Tongue will be back in Lawrence on Nov. 9 to play another show.
