Debut Album - Boogie

Their debut album Boogie (Aug 15, 2025) is a 14-track dive into love, rebellion, and the beauty in Boogie; Black Honeycomb’s Dark Ride Through Love, Smoke & Neon

There’s something about Boogie that feels like a movie you’ve stumbled into halfway through, one where the air smells like whiskey and the light is always fading. Released August 15, 2025, it’s Black Honeycomb’s debut album, and from the very first notes, it’s clear this isn’t just a collection of songs. It’s a 14-track world you get pulled into and maybe don’t want to leave.

The band, Rae Maddox (lead vocals), Jett Lang (guitar/spoken word), Noah Wolfe (bass/backing vocals), and Ivy Cross (drums/falsetto harmonies), have carved out a sound that’s equal parts cinematic and raw. You can almost see the scenes their music paints: motel rooms lit by flickering neon, rain-slick streets at midnight, empty desert roads where trouble’s just over the horizon.

The Soundtrack to the Stories You Tell at 3AM

Black Honeycomb’s sound is thick with texture. Rae’s voice, smoky, rich, and a little dangerous, sits at the center, pulling you in with every line. Jett’s guitar drips reverb and grit, the kind of tone that hangs in the air after the last note. Noah’s bass isn’t just background, it’s heartbeat and ground beneath your feet. And Ivy’s drumming? Tight, groove-driven, always knowing exactly when to push the tempo and when to let it simmer.

The production has that analog warmth that feels lived-in. Every track has space to breathe, but also weight, like each one’s been carried around for a while before finally being let out into the world.

What Boogie Is Really About

The themes here are timeless: love, rebellion, and the beauty you find in places most people don’t linger. Black Honeycomb writes like they’ve lived these stories, not just imagined them. The relationships in these songs aren’t tidy. They’re messy, magnetic, and hard to walk away from.

And the settings? They’re almost characters themselves. Whether it’s the “neon rain” in Black Sunrise or the twilight standoff in Sunset Dual, every song feels like it’s happening in a place you can picture down to the last detail.

Final Take

Boogie doesn’t play it safe, and that’s why it works. It’s confident without being cold, emotional without slipping into cliché. Black Honeycomb has managed to craft a debut that feels both immediate and built to last, a record you’ll want to revisit on late nights when you’re chasing memories, or early mornings when you’re trying to shake them off.

So yeah, press play. Let the lights go low. And let Boogie take you where it’s already going, into the heart of something dangerous, beautiful, and impossible to forget. From the slow-burn ache of Ashes & Wine to the dangerous swagger of Psycho and the cinematic pull of Sunset Dual, Black Honeycomb crafts songs that pull you into their world, late nights, neon lights, and the stories you can’t forget.
