A Much Later Day for Honey...

I remember trying to track down this album for the longest of time. It eventually was given to me as a gift, which came as a great surprise since I figured this would be the last album that anyone would ever find for me. The album is the self-titled debut from a band called A Day for Honey, which would eventually prove to be their only release. They were formed sometime around 1993 by both Frank Giacchetto and Anthony D'Aiuto, who would later recruit former Orange 9mm drummer Larry Gorman, vocalist Tracy Jorg, and Ed Ciappa to be a second guitarist. After some time together they would be signed to Building/TVT records to release the aforementioned album under the helm of NYC hardcore producer extraordinaire Don Fury.

The style of music that A Day for Honey play probably wouldn't win any awards for being entirely innovative, however if it sounds good, I will come to appreciate it which is the case with this record. The music isn't anything fancy, rather it is plain and simple post-hardcore that happens to feature female fronted vocals. Comparisons to the likes of Quicksand or a billion others are sure to make an appearance here. Although it is fairly reasonable to categorize them among these other bands; A Day for Honey do play with a bit more sense of melody and when done with the compliment of Jorg's vocals, it becomes a bit more soothing at times than one would come to expect from an outfit such as this. The album itself is a bit hit or miss, which I chose to ignore a bit in high school, I'll be honest. However, as a whole, you could do a lot worse in this genre, trust me. The band would later go under the name Nympho, but would soon call it a day shortly after.

You can still buy this album new apparently from any of the big online retailers. However, I am willing to bet it wouldn't cost you much at a variety of used places. Regardless, give the band a listen.
