Mellohoney Release Aggressive and Political Single, “Coward”

Mellohoney is a post-punk/garage-rock duo hailing from some noisy garage east of Toronto. No stone is left unturned when this pair steps foot on stage to create a wall of sound much larger than their member count.

In 2023, Mellohoney began recording their debut EP, Genuine People. They worked with producer Dave Schiffman (PUP, NOBRO, The OBGMs) at Dreamhouse Studios in Toronto. The result was the most energetic and impactful musical experience both live and recorded for the band. 2024 will see the album release of Genuine People, through which the band never shies away from turning down, as much as they like to crank it up.

The pair’s music centers around post-punk but often will veer into oncoming traffic, colliding with rock, ska, hip-hop, folk, and reggae, creating a mix that will have your head turning toward the sound of screeching tires to catch a glimpse of the maniacs behind the wheel.

The latest single, “Coward,” was written with “a sense of frustration and disillusionment with the political system, particularly with politicians and the government. A desire for change and accountability.

Elaborating on the new single, Mellohoney comment:

“(It) is our most aggressive and dynamic release to date. It kicks off a new era of Mellohoney that shows off our ability to write memorable hooks amongst the sonic chaos.”
