Music like Honeyblood

Honeyblood is the Scottish indie rock solo project of guitarist and singer-songwriter Stina Tweeddale (born 23 November 1988). It was originally formed as a duo in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2012.

Shona McVicar from Cumbernauld (drums/vocals) and Edinburgh-born Stina Marie Claire Tweeddale met when their previous bands (Partwindpartwolf and Boycotts, respectively) played the same gig in 2012. The name came from two places: the type of stage blood Tweeddale had used for a Halloween concert while performing with Boycotts, and as a reference to the lyrics of the song "Gutless" by Hole. Originally intending to recruit more band members, they decided to remain a duo.

Their first EP, Thrift Shop, was recorded in a bathroom on a four-track tape-deck, and included a cover of the Karen Peris song "The Girl on my Left". It was released in a limited run of fifty cassettes on the night of their first concert, at The Old Hairdressers in Glasgow, on 4 April 2012. The EP received a positive review in The Guardian.
