Hamilton’s own Lucky Honey are making a name for themselves as one of Canada’s most exciting new acts. Since their formation last year, the indie-rock four-piece has been refining a sound that’s both familiar and fresh, pulling from the shimmering synth-pop of the 80s and the raw, heartfelt energy of the 90s.
After cutting their teeth with debut track ‘One You Call’ and the more recent ‘Setting Sun’, the band are building on their talent for blending sincerity with huge, infectious choruses. Their latest single, ‘My Friend Is A Dancer’ arrives as arguably their boldest so far, tapping into a childlike sense of wonder that was inspired by that age-old idea of an imaginary friend.
It’s a playful and captivating anthem that encourages listeners to embrace their inner spark. Backed by hypnotic rhythms and soaring synths, ‘My Friend Is a Dancer’ is a reminder to let go and move freely, an escape from a world that can often feel heavy. The song pushes Lucky Honey into new territory, showcasing an evolution in their sound that hooks into you and refuses to let go. But for fans of their previous singles, it also remains rooted in the band’s core identity: heartfelt, high-energy indie-rock with a pulse you can feel in your soul.
A band well and truly on the rise, Lucky Honey sold out their very first show at Mills Hardware in Hamilton, and their momentum has only grown since, with packed shows across Ontario. To date, they’ve graced some of Canada’s biggest festival stages, including the Sound of Music Festival and NXNE, and even headlined Burlington’s Canada Day celebration.
