This band will NOT be indie much longer. Do yourself a favor, pick this cd up and enjoy it end to end, as I did (and continue to do today !) while you can, they will be huge soon, and you'll wish you were along for the ride !!  Enjoy...

"Found" could be a number one hit, in my opinion.  When I heard it the first time, I said to myself, "Wow!  That's a great song."  Usually I have to hear, even great songs 2 or 3 times before I like them.  But "Found" was different with me.  I think it could be a chart-topper, with the right exposure.  “Found” alone is more than worth the price of the whole album.  And I think the "Found" Video would be great on MTV.  It's awesome, too.  But "Found" is not the only song, by any means, Honor By August has, which is great.  There are a lot of qualities that make their music fantastic:  you can identify with the emotions in the lyrics -- the lyrics engage you; the vocals are unique -- not run-of-the-mill, like you so often hear today; and the music and the musicians are fantastic.  For example, listen to the "silly" lead guitar, in some of their songs, although it doesn't get into heavy metal, though -- it's just great!  The bass guitarist and the drummer are really in sync with each other. The bass guitarist has a "driving" force, when needed, and is all over the neck of the guitar, other times, to give a great mixed, non-canned bass sound.  Some of the musicians also play 2 instruments, including keyboard.  This four-man group really does it for me.  I think you’ll probably feel the same way, if you buy this album.  I think Honor By August will be big time.  Then, more people will be able to hear and see this fantastic band, have a great time, great fun, and also be emotionally moved by them, too.  To me, that’s what makes a great band, and Honor By August is.
