Honour Before Glory is the new solo project from whiskas (¡Forward, Russia! / Dance To The Radio), which while relatively little material has so far emmerged, what has, has already been picked up by the likes of Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, and warranted comparisons as varied as M83, Wolf Parade and My Bloody Valentine by a host of blog admirers The album. this is broken lines, is the result of 4 years of playing, messing around, learning and coming to terms with being in a band with no one else to fall back on - the freedom and the constraints of having no one to answer to. Featuring additional help from friends from bands such as I Like Trains, Duels, Shut Your Eyes & You'll Burst Into Flames - as well as being mastered by Tom from Forward Russia - the album was entirely produced by whiskas in Leeds, largely last Summer, with the finishing sprinkles of gloss being added in the first half of this year. This extended period of finalisation has led to the impetus to release it almost immediately upon completion "genre-defying bravery" - The Independent "HBG make moody, intense landscapes of sound, with melody etched into the infernal granite from whence they’re carved" - Steve Lamacq "...that’s some rather lovely music to just sit back and drift away to…. Maison is like a big synthy hug whereas Breaker is a track that never fails to floor me every time it comes on my iPod it just sounds soooo huge and as though I’ve always heard it in my head forever. That’s definitely a very good thing." - My Band's Better Than Your Band http://honourbeforeglory.com
