Honeycrush
Brooklyn, NY
(Alternative Indie Rock)
Honeycrush is the solo project of singer-songwriter Alexandra Antonopoulos. Though a classically-trained vocalist, the Brooklyn artist first picked up a guitar in 2021, recording her debut EP, Milk Teeth (2023), in her home studio to critical acclaim.
Drawing comparisons to artists Cat Power, Scout Niblett, Mark Lanegan, Jeff Buckley, and PJ Harvey, there’s a distinctly rock influence even in Honeycrush’s most somber melodies.
Antonopoulos weaves themes of identity, the fraught struggle of self-discovery, and generational experiences of womanhood into lyrics that tiptoe between abstract poeticism and diaristic confession. Honeycrush performs live as a four-piece rock band, with Antonopoulos playing solo shows on rare occasions.
Honeycrush’s first headline show sold out Bushwick’s Sleepwalk and a regional tour of the Northeast and Midwest soon followed. Honeycrush and her most recent single, Fruit Is Year Three, were featured on WFUV’s New York Slice highlight.
Honeycrush is planning a more extensive tour with a new EP, Dog The Lamb, slated for release this fall.
