“Stuck!” by Honest Men
“I think fans will connect with these songs in a new and profound way but above all, these songs are for us. They’re us processing love gained, love lost, beliefs redefined, the all-consuming feelings of solitude, and everything in between. Life happens! But we’re only in control of what’s in our immediate field of vision. Here’s to making the most of it.”
The above message is what the American indie rock band Honest Men hopes that listeners will in their newest single “Stuck!”. This upbeat alt-rock track features big energy, especially in the chorus. Yet, it features vulnerability through the vocals, instrumentation, and lyrics. Don’t forget to listen to the catchy hooks in the chorus but also the dreamy instrumentation during the break.
