Reviews/Features
"The stinging yet melancholy “Skinless” is full of reflections on a soured relationship and weeping guitar solos – plus lots of reverb... Lead singer Gabrielle Dana’s haunting voice brings poignant lines ... to life through catchy melodies, all while guitarist Ben Fitts constructs beautifully lamenting harmonies underneath."
​
-Mad Indie Media
"War Honey... have blown every other promising young band out of the water with their debut EP Shard to Shatter, and their most recent single 'Skinless'... an unpredictable amalgamation of sprawling ambient slowcore jams and bluesy existential shoegaze psalms."
​
-A Grrrl’s Two Sound Cents
"War Honey creates a world of their own, hard to categorize and can only be described as an experience... I highly recommend a deep listen. Pop the record on, lie down on the floor, close your eyes and take in the ethereal talent exemplified by War Honey."
​
-UNHNGD Magazine
"Attempting to pigeonhole War Honey by genre classification simply sells short the depth and breadth of their gorgeous sound... listening to War Honey an almost transcendent experience. This one sits with you a long time after the record has stopped spinning and leaves you wanting more."
​
-Razorcake
"War Honey are artists of the highest degree. They have a sound , style and vibe that is simply otherworldly... a musical experience that is like no other."
​
-The Whole Kameese
“...listening to this EP was a soul reaching experience... Last Woman At The Market is heavily based on raw vocals, tons of reverb, and great use of guitar. It’s so different from the mainstream and overpowering, War Honey is declaring that they are here and can’t be ignored, and I am all here for that energy."
​
"...a thrilling combination of eerie shoegaze, cathartic indie, and even effortlessly cool jazz, building into a soaring chorus that perfectly captures the angst of the self-blaming game we can all get caught up in..."
​
-TREMG
"The storytelling is gripping and melancholic and the overall vibe travels like an ocean, building suspense and crashes giving the listener chills... I must say, from the single alone I am aching for more from War Honey."
​
-Click Roll Boom
"Last Woman Left At The Market is an amazing album full of climactic highs and lows. We are taken on several different psychological journeys that encompass the full scope of excitable emotions."
​
-Front Row Girls
“Racehorse begins with birds chirping and a wet delay ridden guitar that simultaneously sets the mood akin to a sunny morning and a dimly lit cabaret; Gabrielle’s sultry soul laced vocals lay delicately on top of a throbbing bass... the song is emotive, sullen... Definitely want to grab the red wine for this one.”
​
-The Sea Hoard
"Dana’s simmering operatic power and Fitts’ delicate ethereal melancholy are all the more enhanced beautifully by the dynamic rhythms rounded out by David Bloom (bass) and Ian Ackerman (drums)."
​
-Full Time Aesthetic
"Dripping with atmosphere, the exceptional vocals capture the spirit of the track’s creativity and it sticks with you long after the final notes have played out. War Honey are a band well worth keeping an eye on based off the unique sound of this single."
​
-Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
"The impressive vocal range of Gabrielle Dana can't be ignored, but it is the free-flowing yet carefully composed music that raises them far above the thousands of indie hopefuls."
​
-Here Comes The Flood
“Anyone who likes expressive guitars and a rustic vein that mixes indie and garage rock will love it.”
-Roadie Music [translated from Spanish]
"Their new single sees the band maintaining the dense atmospheres and jazz-influenced chord progressions that defined their previous releases while also venturing into heavier musical territory than the band has ever been before...."
​
-Click Roll Boom
"Going huge with gestures and moving your very core with its theatrics; the four tracks also just softy and sweetly trickly into your ear. Paradox abundant, its both gigantic and tiny in every way conceivable. They’ve got something special going on…"
​
-Stoner HiVe
"...the saddest solo we’ve ever sobbed too. Bring tissues."
​
-Loud Women
"...there’s a mixture of loud and soft sounds throughout, the instrumental is powerful enough to hold you spellbound, and the lyrics are carefully written... War Honey consistently creates music that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible."
​
-Heat Waves Mag
"...these vocals help to elevate this band to the status of artists like Florence and The Machine... it feels like you're flying through the clouds being followed by a band of angels."
​
-Asphyxium Zine
"Right away Gabrielle Dana’s vocal draws you into the track with its power. It’s definitely a soulful jazzy voice."
​
-Blood Makes Noise
" 'Skinless' merges ambient, noise-driven guitar textures with rock-oriented songwriting. It sees the band lean into their post-punk and experimental influences, while still retaining the dreamy atmospheres that defined their work up to this point."
​
-IndieX Music
“A forlorn, slightly sinister vibe permeates the entire release and sad love, a kind of pale jewel shines its dim glow across the tracks… Just listen to that wonderful voice of Gabrielle Dana; and you will undoubtedly feel the pain, want to do better and wish for a light of hope to see us all through.”
​
-Stoner HiVe
“It’s got that shoegaze sound that is strange but I love so much—just enough reverb on the vocals and guitars to give it an ethereal feel without making it too hard to listen to. It’s perfect for a road trip playlist if you like a rock!”
​
-Top Music
"It's fresh, it's stylish, and it's more than just good..."
​
-Zone Nights [translated from Spanish]
"...a rollercoaster ride of exciting guitar riffs, exotic vocal melodies, and mind-blowing climaxes."
​
-Ai Love Music
"Powerful but dreamy..."
​
-Bandleap
"Lots of tonal similarities with post-rock bands such as Mogwai, or The Twilight Sad, but with a singer who manages to channel a wee bit of Siouxsie Sioux, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and particularly Johnette Napolitano... both moody and soaring in equal measure."
-Pop-Crazed Youngster
"The kind of band you’d expect to find holed up in a dark corner of some smoky basement bar three nights a week crooning away to an ethereal, almost jazzy backbeat."
​
-Hanging Like A Hex
"...both beautiful and wonderful, but lost in a romantic world... their name War Honey perfectly illustrates this paradox between softness and brutality!"
​
-Direct Actu [translated from French]
"Vocalist Gabrielle...can be powerful and crack with an inconspicuous drive, but mostly it's beautiful melodies... guitarist Ben, does his job perfectly. Guitar arrangements are beautiful and perfectly supported by casual keyboards and a minimalist rhythm section."

"as enchanting as it is unnerving... War Honey are experts in delivering Dream Pop Noir"
