WILD HONEY announce ‘Messed Up’ single

Wild Honey continue their sweet home run today with ‘Messed Up’, a new single and video combo arriving just in time for a five date, tri-state tour kicking off next week.

Front man Thom Moore says the track came about when he started to question his own routine of “putting up with whatever I had to do through the week, hanging out for the weekend when I could get loaded, but then too soon its Monday and I’d press repeat. How many times can you do it, before you begin to wonder if as well as well as losing time, you might be losing a bit of yourself in it”.
