Honeybadger deliver their raucous rock anthem ‘Too Slow’

If you’ve ever wanted to punch the chaos of daily life in the face with a fuzzed-out power chord, Honeybadger’s ‘Too Slow’ is the track for you.

The Brighton-based trio come out swinging with a track that barrels forward like a runaway train fuelled by distortion, sweat, and a healthy dose of frustration. A scream into the void that hits like the moment you slam your bedroom door, turn the dial all the way up, and let your speakers do the screaming for you.

But their charm lies in the friction, with the rasp of the vocals, the snap of the snare, the bass that practically growls under the weight of it all. Think early Drenge on a bender with the volatility of Them Crooked Vultures and a dash of garage-born mischief à la The White Stripes.

Lyrically, it’s all about exorcising the weight of modern life. Whether it’s burnout, pressure, or just the endless noise, Honeybadger channel it into something kinetic. Every beat punches back, every riff swings like a fist in a dive bar.

Fresh off a headline slot at The Alternative Escape and high-profile spins on Kerrang! and BBC Radio 1, the band are making their presence known through both acclaim and community. And this is a sweat-soaked, bruised-knuckle anthem for people in the thick of it.

With ‘Too Slow’, Honeybadger deliver a reminder that sometimes the most honest therapy session is three minutes long, played loud, and snarled through a broken mic. File this under: songs to soundtrack your controlled implosion.
