"Wage Agreement" by HONEY is Northern Transmissions' 'Song of the Day'.
HONEY

According to Honey: “Nothing is worse than fading away.” Their new single, “Wage Agreement” is about “knowing that you are about to fade away, but you don’t want to face it,” they explain. HONEY’s forthcoming release New Moody Judy comes out on September 29th via Wharf Cat. The band have shared the stage with the Dead Moon, J. Mascis, Sheer Mag, The Men, Destruction Unit.

Before they were members of the same band, Cory Feierman (bass, vocals) and Dan Wise (guitar, vocals) knew one another from Brooklyn’s Academy Records, where Cory worked as a buyer and Dan was a regular. One day Dan mentioned he was looking for a copy of The Gun Club’s Death Party EP, which happened to be the next record in the stack of recent arrivals that Cory was pricing. The coincidence ultimately led them to realize that they had more in common than just an appreciation for punk records, and they began playing together not long afterwards. At the time, Dan was a member of The Psychic Ills, and shared the occasional bill with Will Schmeichen (drums), who was then part of Amen Dunes. Eventually it came to light that Dan needed a drummer for his new band and that Will was interested in joining a more rock and roll focused project. Soon after Honey was born.
