“The Glaswegian pop-punk duo’s third LP slips agitated misanthropy into hummable tunes like “Cruel,” in which gentle power chords flutter while Tweeddale wonders how much more of her shit her boyfriend will suffer…Elsewhere, “Ready for the Magic” and “Sea Hearts” pile up boomerang guitars and liquor-soaked prophecies to make playing jump-rope with your heartstrings seem like an Olympic sport.”

“Scottish duo Honeyblood play pumped-up punk rock that’s both exhilarating and jubilant-music with fun melodies that jump off the walls.”
“Beyond the punk snarl salt and the saccharine melodies, though, Honeyblood’s arguably greatest achievement is a stage presence much too big to be from just two people. Tweeddale has a hand in that, with her side of the stage banter, but when drummer Cat Myers channels her inner John Bonham on her kit you’ll find it hard to look away. She wears an innocent smile, but she’s a downright ferocious percussionist, lending Tweeddale’s vocals the muscular grooves that drive her words home.”
