The Honorary Title premieres at MTVu

The Honorary Title is a band that goes a bit beyond the usual rock band instruments and sounds that we are used to hearing. They dig back to the 50s and 60s to bring out the organ that The Doors loved so much, and they have obviously listened to Jeff Buckley ad nauseam, because they know how to bring out a deep, emotional crescendo. They are also known for having a literary spirit, with their poetic lyrics that illustrate and narrate and make you think. Although they are considered part of the indie-crowd, they are genre-bending rather than genre-defining.
