Honor By August formed in New Jersey in 2013 with Chris Turpin on vocals and guitar, Alex Van Valkenburgh on guitar, Mike Furey on bass, Eric Garcia on drums, and Carlee Bender on keyboards and vocals. They released their debut album 'Disillusioned and Uncertain' in 2015, which included the song 'Awake & Alive.'
That track became their most recognizable, with its straightforward rock arrangement and lyrics about resilience. They followed up with albums in 2018 and 2021, maintaining a steady output of alternative rock material.
Their music, including songs like 'Better' and 'Black & White,' tends toward earnest, guitar-driven rock with clear vocals and accessible melodies. They've built a following through consistent touring and recording over the past decade.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
