Glaswegian duo, Stina Marie Claire Tweeddale (guitar/vocals) and Shona McVicar (drums) formed Honeyblood in 2012. They signed to FatCat Records in 2013, but McVicar was later replaced by Cat Myers in 2014. Since 2019, the band comprises only songwriter, singer and guitarist Stina Tweeddale. 

Honeyblood's music is a blend of indie rock and punk with catchy melodies and powerful lyrics. Drawing inspiration from various genres, their sound is often described as a mix of dream pop and grunge.

If you enjoy artists such as Dream Wife, Black Honey, or Wolf Alice, then Honeyblood should definitely be on your radar. With their raw energy and captivating performances, they have gained a loyal fanbase around the world.

Recorded during several candle-burning stints at London's Fish Factory studios in the winter of 2016, Stina and Cat were joined by acclaimed producer James Dring, whose work with the likes of Jamie T and Gorillaz made him an intriguing choice for the Scottish duo. Make no mistake though, 'Babes...' doesn't sound like anyone else but Honeyblood. The urgent lo-fi charm that defined their debut still pulses from its core. The band that burst forth from Glasgow's DIY underground scene just a few years ago, recording cassette tape releases in their bathrooms and hosting ad-hoc parties in disused hairdressers is still in tact; however, the evolution that's taken place is undeniable. An epically road-tested band and a dose of production finesse create a formidable combination.Stina's songwriting truly has found a bright new spotlight on her band's second outing. 'Babes...' is resplendent in the kind of effortless chant-a-long hooks that one by one will all soon become their own mantras. For a while now Honeyblood have been talked about as one of the most exciting new UK bands, but with 'Babes...' you just get the feeling that before long they'll be simply be known as one of the most important bands around, period.
