Honeycreeper is a dirty, nasty, sexy, sweaty, high-energy rock band that's funky as hell. This stock is seasoned liberally with punk and ska, and even a little hip-hop, metal, tribal, and reggae. Lyrically, the songs are about the dichotomy of life- in other words, life can suck but theres no point whining about it. Honeycreeper is serious but fun, edgy and eclectic yet easily accessible and danceable. They are freaky without being embarrassing, clever yet not pretentious, and sexy without being slutty. Honeycreeper has a sound all their own, yet its completely familiar and youll want to sing along to every chorus. The music can be sort of dark and mysterious, but you'll want to give it a big hug at the end of the night. It's music played by people who need to play music. It's a stew that's cooking on its' own flame-- all you need to do is show up with your spork and dig in.
For those of you who care, here's a few things people have written about Honeycreeper and our album "Freakqualizer" :
"The members of Albany-area alternative rock outfit Honeycreeper are nothing if not ambitious: atop a pneumatic punk-funk base, the energetic foursome pile on weighty slabs of hip hop, reggae, hard rock and 1990s American ska. And its proven to be a winning recipe, making the act a frequent club favorite locally and up and down the East Coast. Freakqualizer, Honeycreepers debut album, is a sharply produced, impressively realized first effort that, quite loudly and literally, screams out for college and alternative radio airplay."
- Peter Aaron for The Daily Freeman
"The opening of Honeycreepers Freakqualizer grabs your attention with a jazz-infused rhythm that rages straight out of Mandy Becks saxophone. But when the multitalented Becks voice joins the fun, youre suddenly jolted into taking a second listen. Shouldnt be surprising, then, that the track is entitled Your Voice. Honeycreeper do not need to rely solely on the strength of this kick-ass lead female singer/saxophonist, though; their personalized approach is enough to latch on to your eardrums and hold on tightly throughout the rest of the album. By The Man, youre probably thinking this band is certainly rocking your iPod and would probably be even more gratifying live. The punk, ska, hip hop, and reggae blend together for a sound that is eccentric, catchy and ultimately entertaining."
- Amy Tetreault for Face Magazine
Those of us who grew up listening to Pantera, Tribe Called Quest, Bob Marley, Deee-lite, and the Dead Kennedys all on the same mix tape won't want to miss Honeycreeper, a funky, sexy mish-mash of all those genres. Leading lady and songstress Mandy Beck plays sax with a vengeance and her boys bring the funk.
- Amy Martin for The Portland Phoenix
Honeycreeper is the shit, plain and simple. From the first track, Your Voice, you know that this CD will be like nothing youve ever heard before. This is a disc jam-packed with styles, solos, energy, and fun. I definitely recommend seeing these guys and picking up a copy of Freakqualizer.

Bringing together influences from all over the musical spectrum with a dynamic female lead Honeycreeper is one of the most fiercely original groups in the current music scene.
