On first listen to Honeyblood‘s infectious self-titled debut, you’d never guess this Glasgow-based group was only a two-piece. Frontwoman Stina Tweeddale’s sticky, springy guitar licks are splayed out over Shona McVicar’s percussion; they expand and fill the mix like a whole can of foaming shower spray being blasted into a two-liter bottle—it’s easy to assume there were three players in the studio assaulting their six-strings. And so many earworms, too—short rock songs with big pop hooks you’ll need to crank up to drown out your own singing along. “I will hate you forever/You really do disgust me!” Tweeddale belts in “Super Rat,” in a kiss-off chorus you won’t be able to get out of your head. This is an ideal summer record full of catchy mini-anthems in the vein of The Breeders, from a duo of no-nonsense Scottish badasses. (www.facebook.com/honeybloodeatitup)
