Is it time to hit the Panic Button? Honeybadger
Music Honeybadger is back with a bang, delivering their explosive new single, “Panic Button.” This raw and groovy track is a reflection of turbulent times and restless minds, drawing inspiration from the nightmares of war, existential pressure, and collective disillusionment.
Following the emotionally charged “Empty-Handed,” Honeybadger, celebrating a decade of existence, takes a bold step towards a sharper and more direct musical direction. Combining alternative rhythms, catchy desert rock riffs, and intense melodic tension, “Panic Button” blends rawness with soul, creating a sound that is both confrontational and cathartic.
The song conveys a powerful message, serving as a wake-up call for those who have reached their breaking point amidst the manipulation, conformity, and quiet chaos of everyday life. When you finally push that button, will everything explode… or finally make sense?
Honeybadger, hailing from Athens, is a desert rock band that has been active in the rock scene since 2015. Drawing influences from stoner, heavy rock, indie/alternative, and grunge sounds, they have released several works, including “The Rain” EP (2017), their debut LP “Pleasure Delayer” (2020), and singles like “Diamonds” (2023) and the latest releases “The Green,” “Empty-Handed,” and “Panic Button” (2025).
Their recognition in Greece and abroad quickly followed their continuous effort to evolve their musical genre. With a wealth of live performances alongside major domestic bands within the genre and appearances at selected festivals, Honeybadger has solidified their place in the music scene. Their most recent notable performance was at the ACHERON MUSIC SESSIONS 2 at Arch Club in February 2024.
After significant lineup changes, the band, which previously functioned as a power trio, has returned to a full guitar volume and melodic quartet configuration. This shift sets the stage for the decisive release of their sophomore full-length album titled “Let There Be Light,” expected to be presented both on record and live in the fall of 2025. Honeybadger’s musical journey continues, bringing their unique sound to audiences worldwide.
