Sometimes, a band name really gives someone no idea what their musical approach will be. Honey Juice popped up in my YouTube feed when the video for their song \u2019Panic\u2019 was released. I was curious, so I clicked on the link and immediately wanted to hear more from this new band. They just released their debut EP, which doesn\u2019t waste a second across its 14 minutes. While the band appears to be based in Finland, three of the five members came from outside Finland. Their musical direction creates an interesting musical blend that deserves a listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the band\u2019s website, a couple of the musical influences the band lists are the drums of Megadeth and Paramore. I cannot say I have ever listened to Paramore, so my musical comparisons will be different. They launch with the highly melodic \u201922 Again.\u2019 This is most definitely not Life of Agony\u2019s \u2018Lost at 22.\u2019 This has more of a modern rock feel, where the music opens up for the chorus. The guitar riff pops up in the mix where needed to propel the song. It provides an energetic start to the release. Up next is \u2018Panic\u2019, which again was my first exposure to the band. The band serves up a melodic verse with beautiful vocals before the chorus explodes with a visceral scream that comes out of nowhere. The song has a lot of musical elements going on in the mix, which are awesome, but each time that scream comes into the song, it makes it even better. This will be high on my favourite songs of 2026 list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
