Song Of The Day: Honeyblood – Super Rat

Posted on

Glasgow band Honeyblood recently released their eponymous debut full length.  It’s a blast of catchy, poppy, noisy tunes from the duo of Stina Tweeddale and Shona McVicar, who refer to themselves as “Noisy Scottish Girls” on their Soundcloud page and have labelled their music as “crunch pop.”  It’s as good a term as any for what they do, with their sound evoking the sounds of the 90s and the band citing acts like Throwing Muses and The Breeders as influences.

“Super Rat” is a perfect example of their sound with Tweeddale sweetly singing lines like “I will hate you forever” and “Scumbag sleaze/Slimeball grease/You really do disgust me.”

The video sees the band partaking in such risky behaviour as blowing up cakes and eating pomegranates while wearing white. A waste of cake for sure, but it does make for a cool visual.
