I make music for me. Thanks for listening.

Although I do have music that I’ve recorded with other fantastic musicians I’m only going to post songs that I’ve made myself to this page.

With a style that reaches back while also moving forward, Honeybabe is a five-piece psychrockjazzpunk band based in Detroit, MI. The band’s latest record "In Living Memory" was released on May 10th 2019.

Founded in 2013 inside a suburban basement of Metro Detroit, Honeybabe was formed by Michael La Bella(vocals/guitar/piano), Matthew McBrien (vocals/guitar), Austin Keith (drums), Drew Bartosik (vocals/guitar/piano) and Danny Despard (bass guitar). Inspirations for each member comes from a swelling spectrum of genres and musicians, hence establishing a genre like pyschrockjazzbeachpunk is not just a gag, but an approximate definition. 

PRESS:

“The five-man band combine sun-showered punk with fuzzy, psychedelic rock, sugary vocals, and textured, temperamental songs that are friendly even at their gloomiest.”
- Amy Oprean, Detroit Metro Times

“Despite their youth, the ensemble's shown a strong sense for psychedelicized funk-pop journeys and a measuredly strange-ified, distortion-stormed indie-rock."
-Jeff Milo, Deep Cutz

“Honeybabe has a distinct sound quality to their music and it parallels the diversity of the city that they hail from."
-Konstantina Buhalis, Ouch that Hertz
