Some musicians take a while to build an audience and connect with fans. For the Los Angeles-based quartet Dirty Honey, success came right out of the gate...
In September 2019, Dirty Honey made history as the only unsigned artist in Billboard’s near four-decades to go all the way to #1 on the magazine’s Mainstream and Hard Rock Charts with its debut single, “When I’m Gone.” Since that weighty debut, Dirty Honey has opened for The Who, Guns N’ Roses, Slash with Alter Bridge, and The Black Crowes (when the band received glowing press reviews and a standing ovation at the majority of the tour’s concerts — unprecedented for a support act). Dirty Honey’s self-titled album - without the help of a record label - debuted at #2 on the Current Hard Rock Chart, Rolling Stone featured them as “An Artist You Need To Know,” they were tagged as the “do-not-miss-band” at more than a dozen major North American summer festivals, and played sold-out shows on their first two North American headline tours. In May, 2022 the band released its international EP/LP debut, and headed to the UK and Europe for their first tour there, playing headline shows, festival slots and support dates with Guns N’ Roses, KISS and Rival Sons. Both legs of the band’s 2023 UK/European headline tours sold out with most of the venues having to upscale due to ticket demand.
In April 2023, the band - Marc LaBelle/vocals, John Notto/guitar, Justin Smolian/bass, and newest member, Jaydon Bean/drums) - headed to Australia to record their new album, Can’t Find The Brakes, due out ton November 3. The album’s first single, “Won’t Take Me Alive" - released on July 7, 2023 - is a literal, take-no-prisoners-balls-out rocker. Dirty Honey will launch their 2023-24 North American world tour on October 18, preceded by a handful of dates supporting Guns N’ Roses, and then roll into headline shows in October/November/December.
Dirty Honey continues to take the world by storm.
