Brooklyn’s Honey VHS make an impressive first statement with With Pulp, a debut EP that embraces the warmth of live performance and the timeless appeal of honest songwriting. Formed in 2025, the five-piece outfit blends folk, blues, classic rock, and subtle jazz influences into a sound that feels comfortably familiar while carrying a distinctly modern perspective. Rather than polishing away every imperfection, the band recorded the project live in full takes with producer Lucas Saur, allowing each song to breathe with the natural chemistry that can only happen when musicians share the same room. The result is a record rich in texture, spontaneity, and emotional authenticity.
Across tracks including “If You Want Me,” “Blue Eyes, Sunshine,” “Jet Lag,” “Never Left The Ground,” “November,” and “Secrets Are For Losers,” Honey VHS explore the emotional landscape of love, anxiety, nostalgia, and personal change. Frontman Cameron Roberts delivers thoughtful songwriting that feels reflective without becoming overly sentimental, while guitarist Luca Moneti Schliemann and the rest of the band create arrangements that move effortlessly between intimate folk passages and expansive rock melodies. Bassist Jasper Grigsby-Schulte, guitarist Joe Bailey, and drummer Pele Greenberg complete a rhythm section that gives every song an organic pulse, reinforcing the band’s commitment to musicianship over studio perfection.
With Pulp succeeds because it values feeling over formula. Honey VHS capture the beauty of human connection through performances that sound lived-in rather than manufactured, inviting listeners into songs that reveal new emotional details with each return. As debut releases go, this EP introduces a band with a clear artistic identity, a deep appreciation for classic influences, and the confidence to let authenticity guide every note. Honey VHS may be a relatively new name, but With Pulp suggests they have all the ingredients to become an enduring presence in the independent alternative scene.
“Honey VHS reminds us that the most unforgettable records aren’t built on perfection—they’re built on genuine moments shared between musicians who trust the music to speak for itself.”
