Honey Motel

four young men standing in a narrow convenience store aisle, arranged in a line from foreground to background. They appear to be a band or music group posing for a promotional photo. The person in the foreground is wearing a grey t-shirt with "PROHIBITION" text visible. Behind him is someone with longer reddish-blonde hair, followed by a person with brown hair, and in the back, someone with longer dark curly hair and glasses.

Riding the wave of their hotly anticipated EP The Manatee released last year, Liverpool four-piece Honey Motel bring their infectious riot of sound to the festival. Building a reputation for their visceral energy on stage, their psychedelic pop is shot through with Scouse wit and storytelling.  With a line up of Matt Walker on vocals, Sam Meredith on guitar, bassist Jack Hughes and Lew Fogg on drums, their set is a guaranteed crowd pleaser for any indie-pop and alt-rock fans, echoing influences like Declan McKenna, and The Backseat Lovers.
