Dirty Honey

Los Angeles quartet Dirty Honey found success right out of the gate. Their 2019 debut single, When I’m Gone, made history as the first song by an unsigned artist to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart. That summer, they opened for Slash and Guns N’ Roses, and their first U.S. headline tour sold out every date. Their self-titled debut album—produced by Nick DiDia (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against The Machine, Stone Temple Pilots)—was recorded in Byron Bay, Australia, and dropped on April 23, 2021, debuting at No. 2 on the Hard Rock Albums chart. The band then supported The Black Crowes on their Shake Your Money Maker U.S. tour, earning glowing reviews and standing ovations.

In 2023, after three sold-out U.K. and European tours, Dirty Honey—Marc LaBelle (vocals), John Notto (guitar), Justin Smolian (bass), and new drummer Jaydon Bean—returned to Byron Bay with DiDia to record their sophomore album, Can’t Find The Brakes. The album’s companion live release, Mayhem & Revelry (Live)—a double-vinyl, CD, and digital set—captures their 2023-24 world tour, paired with a four-part video documentary. Together, they showcase the band’s explosive live energy and tight camaraderie.
