Album Notes

In its young career, Honor By August has already shared an arena stage with Bon Jovi, had its music broadcast to millions and won the Grand Prize in Billboard’s World Song Contest.

“Now widely considered one of the most promising new talents on the East Coast,” (Washington Post) Honor By August makes music characterized by "distinctive, inviting vocals and anthemic, reverb-drenched guitars" (MetroMusicScene.com). It is built on “award-winning songwriting, strong vocals, catchy melodies, and dynamic live performance” (Jenni Chase, Washington’s Z104/OnTap Magazine).

Their newest release, “Found,” finds the band in musical territory somewhere between U2, Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon and Bruce Springsteen -- a melodic and accessible blend of mainstream rock hooks and deep lyrical observations on life, love, loss and hope.

A fast-growing reputation has helped provide some important opportunities for the band. Honor By August has already been able to share stages as large as arenas with artists including Bon Jovi, Third Eye Blind, Vertical Horizon, Peter Frampton, Hootie & the Blowfish, Edwin McCain, Hanson, State Radio and many others.

While drawing comparisons to some of these bands and developing a sound of their own, Honor By August won the grand prize in the Billboard World Song Contest, as well as the XM Radio / Bon Jovi “Have a Nice Gig” Contest. Their music has been broadcast to millions on ESPN and they have gotten to work with Grammy-winning producers, mixers, and engineers including Jack Joseph Puig (U2, Snow Patrol), Paul David Hager (Goo Goo Dolls), Jeff Juliano (John Mayer), Toby Wright (Third Eye Blind) and Ted Comerford (Zox).

Their sophomore release “Found” continues to fuel the buzz as it builds on the foundation of the first album, further honing the band’s songwriting and developing their knack for portraying a heartfelt connection through their music.
