Honeyflux – Hourglass

Newcastle’s emerging alternative rock outfit Honeyflux recently released their new single ‘Hourglass’. Hourglass is effectively all about change but presented in a very indirect way. Using fictitious examples in the verse lyrics, we harness imagery that portrays both the passing of time and arising situations that command a level headed thought process to make it through.

“When I (Joe) first moved to Newcastle, I found myself in a situation in which I didn’t know many people; my career had not yet started to gather any speed and my family all lived hundreds of miles away. What I did have, however, was my partner (now wife) who consistently kept me grounded through a very unstable time. I wrote ‘Hourglass’ within this period as a way of relieving myself of the stresses of uncertainty. I was conveying my feelings of standing on a cliff edge, staring into the unknown whilst I waited for my life up north to start. Wording it (and most of my lyrics) abstractly with lots of imagery helps me convey my thoughts in a way that’s cohesive to me. I’m dyslexic and ultimately have more thoughts in images as opposed to words, so painting a strong image in our listeners’ imaginations helps me feel connected to the people who have been kind enough to listen to us.”

Composed of members from Backyard Rhythm Orchestra, The Baghdaddies, Prudent Primate and Shields UK, Honeyflux write and perform with the utmost technical ability. Blurring the lines of alternative rock, Honeyflux’s sound is influenced by bands such as Steely Dan, Soundgarden and The War On Drugs, placing them amidst a magnetic blend of genres. Forming in Newcastle, Honeyflux all live and operate creatively in the North East; growing up, playing music and building ties within all areas of the region.

In “HISS,” she took aim at her detractors, with Nicki Minaj finding herself in the crosshairs. Megan’s punchy lyrics, particularly about “Megan’s Law,” landed with such force that even Minaj’s response track fell flat. Victory was rightfully hers.

Now, she’s revving up for the next chapter. Megan took to Instagram, teasing fans with a cryptic message: “😈🐍🎮 Are you ready to play?” Accompanied by two renditions of herself in classic video game style, reminiscent of old PlayStation fighting games, fans went wild. Comments flooded in, with one fan even admitting, “this eats so bad i’m inspired to change my concert outfit 😭.”

Megan swiftly refuted these allegations, denouncing them as a “salacious” money grab. In a powerful display of solidarity, fellow celebrities rallied behind her, with 50 Cent even suggesting the accuser deserved a punch in the head.
