Cheers to New Cumberland, Pennsylvania’s Almost Honest, who have signed on to release their third album later this year through respected purveyor Argonauta Records. The band have become a four-piece since they issued their second full-length, Seiches and Sirens (review here), in 2019 through Electric Talon. There isn’t a timeline yet on their new release, but they join a glut of bands the Italian label has picked up over the last two months — also 10 years — that includes Superlynx, Fraught, Thedus, Slow Wake, and Dune Pilot. That would seem to speak to a busy Fall to come, one way or the other.

And that busy Fall now includes Almost Honest as well. The band celebrate their 10th anniversary this year since getting together in 2013 — their first EP, Profits of Doom, came out in 2016, followed by their debut album, Thunder Mouth, in 2017 — and releasing a third record on Argonauta sounds like a pretty killer way to mark the occasion. Good on them. I’ll hope to have more to come on the release as we get there.

From the PR wire:

US Heavy Fuzz Rockers ALMOST HONEST Sign to ARGONAUTA Records; New Album During Fall

Coughed up from a smoke filled corner deep in the Central Pennsylvania rock scene in 2012, Almost Honest is a four-piece riff conspiracy dipped in enough sludge to choke mammoth, enough groove to make the dead dance, lyrics that could summon a Sasquatch and make her sing along, and a tonal brilliance that was crafted by master sound-smiths and enchanted by sonic-shamans.

Says the band: “We at Almost Honest are absolutely thrilled to be working with Argonauta Records to release our 3rd record. We have been working tirelessly since 2020 on our new tunes and we are happy that it finally has a home. We know that we are going to accomplish wonderful things together and we cannot wait to share with you what we have been working on.”

Helmed by the darkly dulcet guitarist Shayne Reed, driven by the jungle rattling bassist Garrett Spangler, lifted up by the immense leads of David Kopp and powered by the ent-war thump of drummer Quinten Spangler, Almost Honest has evolved into a rock act to be reckoned with.

Focusing the energy they would have put into extensive touring during the past two years and using ritual druid magics, they conceived, wrote, and recorded a brand new album whose details will be revealed soon.

Almost Honest is poised to deliver more of their unique, creamy fuzz soaked, metallic prog-funk potion, with a riot punch live show that Pennsylvania head bangers have come to crave as soon as the world is ready!
