Almost Honest

Coughed up from a smoke filled corner deep in the Central Pennsylvania rock scene in 2012,
Almost Honest is a four-piece riff conspiracy dipped in enough sludge to choke mammoth, enough groove to make
the dead dance, lyrics that could summon a Sasquatch and make her sing along, and a tonal brilliance that was
crafted by master sound-smiths and enchanted by sonic-shamans.
Helmed by the darkly dulcet guitarist Shayne Reed, driven by the jungle rattling bassist Garrett Spangler, lifted up by the immense leads of David Kopp and powered
by the ent-war thump of drummer Quinten Spangler, Almost Honest has evolved into a rock act to be reckoned
with. Their debut studio full length album, 2017's "*Thunder Mouth*" showcases a clarity of direction all but
unheard of among debut albums. Two years and thousands of toured miles later, 2019's "*Seiches And Sirens*," an
anthemic atomic payload, detonated on impact with the local music community and showed the Pennsylvania rock
scene a new kind of animal. Their southern metal sensibilities and dedication to the craft of *the show* shine
brightly and remind audiences that great rock can and *should* be great fun. All of these ingredients bubbling in
Almost Honest cauldron, and it's easy to see how their brew appeals to so very many, from genre die-hards to even
the most casual listener.
Not contented with their cavalier domination of Pennsylvania metal and hard rock, where they have been featured
on hard rock radio staple 105.7 The X, Almost Honest has struck out farther, having toured — *flown their jolly
roger* — all across the eastern United States and invading the dreams and streams of Asia, Europe, South America,
North America, and Australia.
2020, a cursed year by any metric, should have been a circle around a brighter kind of star for Almost Honest, and
everyone else. With tour dates canceled across the planet, and a creeping sort of dementia lingering over
everything, it's easy to understand why so many acts took the year as a loss. Almost Honest, however, had not.
Focusing the energy they would have put into extensive touring and using ritual druid magics, they conceived, wrote,
and recorded a brand new album: "*The Hex Of Penn's Woods*". A conceptual leviathan, "*The Hex Of Penn's
Woods*" boasts a nearly arcane dedication to lyrical content and wisely eclectic musicianship, recording and mixing
from top-tier Dynamo Audio Studios, mastering from iconic metal production wizard Machine (Gene Freeman), and
artwork by the grimly baroque Italian master Francesca Vecchio.
Almost Honest is poised to deliver more of their unique, creamy fuzz soaked, metallic prog-funk potion, with a riot
punch live show that Pennsylvania head bangers have come to crave as soon as the world is ready!
