Free Music Notes for Scream & Light Up the SkyFree Music Review: Very Honorable!! Thanks for sure! Hit: 5 StarsI first heard this band on one of my absolute favorite t.v shows One Tree Hill and immediately fell HARD for them. They have an AWESOME sound that I love and are very unique. I like to listen to alot of different music from A7X, Bullet for my valentine, Band of Horses, MGMT and Jose Gonzalez so it really is no surprise to me that I'd love this music. I have to say that my most favorite by far song on this cd is FAR MORE!!! I just love the way it starts and how it flows thru my mind till the very end. It makes me all tingly inside. I have to say that I am not disappointed one bit with the purchase of this album and would do it 100 times over just to get the same end result. I am looking for them everywhere and hope they make it to San Jose so I can see them in person. Can you imagine how much better they'd be in person. Trust me if you purchase this cd it won't disappoint. Well unless your just unaware of what GREATNESS IS!!!
Free Music Review: AwEsoMe CD!! Hit: 5 StarsI first heard The Honorary Title while watching TV. The song was 'Far More' and the lyrics captured my attention full force.
The songs are somewhat melancholy, but only with a kind of pleasantness. The lyrics come full of meaning, and the songs are sang with a great deal of power and intensity.
My favorite songs on the CD are: Thin Layer, Stay Away, Stuck at Sea, Far More, Radiate, and Wait until I'm Gone. You will definitely not be disappointed with this CD!
Free Music Review: New, full-band sound anchored with singer/songwriter roots. Hit: 4 StarsWhen the Honorary Title released Anything Else But The Truth in 2004, singer/guitarist Jarrod Gorbel and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Kamstra were an acoustic duo. After several years of playing live, their sound naturally grew to require a full band, with Jonathan Wiley contributing electric guitars and Adam Boyd (ex-the Format) providing the backbeat. If fans of the singer/songwriter formula that graced Truth are worried Gorbel's personal and poignant stories will be lost among the noise, they can put their fears to rest. Playing with a full band, Gorbel's distinct, powerfully emotional vocals have never sounded fuller on Scream And Light Up The Sky. Ranging from vibrant pop-punk ("Untouched") to acoustic balladry ("Even If") to indie-flecked rockers ("Apologize"), each song contains a hook as prominent as the hipster scene in the band's native Brooklyn. While incredibly catchy, a closer listen reveals the dark themes of failed relationships, meaningless sex, inevitable change and mental anguish. "Stay Away" finds Gorbel wailing, "If you're using me/Do it slowly/Make it last until I have to go," and the haunting "Don't you think I'm lonely/Eager to complete the story/Confused and still haunted with why you'd start over" on "Even If" are just two examples of the longing, confusion and heartbreak that pepper the disc. In the end, the Honorary Title prove singing your sorrow really is cathartic.
Free Music Review: BRILLIANT 2ND CD! Hit: 5 StarsThe Honorary Title has outdone themselves on their 2nd CD. It isn't often that a band can put out such a strong follow up CD but the Honorary Title has pulled it off flawlessly. The lyrics, the musicianship, the melodies are all so amazing and well done. This Brooklyn based band is quickly making a name for themselves. Do yourself a favor & order this CD - you won't regret it for a single second. The Honorary Title rocks!

Free Music Review: Brilliant Hit: 5 StarsIf you already were a fan and enjoy Anything Else But the Truth hundreds I cant imagine being disappointed by this album. I just bought it a week ago because I didn't even realize they had released a new album. I suspect this is the case with many of their fans as I have never seen much promotion anywhere for these guys, but they definitely deserve it. Gorbel, the vocalist, manages to sound even better on this album. The songs are slightly more complex, the arrangements a little bit more grand. I would not at all say this is more of a pop record or radio friendly as I see other reviews saying. However, the production quality has definitely been upped so it does sound a little more slick. This is great music and anybody who liked good indie rock will love this. IF you like Spoon you will like this. And if you cant stand Dashboard Confessionals you will still love this.
