DIRTY HONEY Is Preparing To Record Third Studio Album

In a new interview with Brazil's 89 FM A Rádio Rock, DIRTY HONEY singer Marc LaBelle spoke about the band's plans to record new music as a follow-up to 2023's " Can't Find The Brakes" album. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "We're working on some new music right now and going into the studio here shortly."

Regarding what fans can expect from the new DIRTY HONEY material, Marc said: "We've been working hard on songwriting, working on demos and stuff. There's just a lot of things happening in the world and just personal experiences that we've all had recently — very good and very bad, without revealing too much — that we're pulling from to write lyrics with. And I think we're just trying to evolve a little more as songwriters and as musicians and as a band to create something that maybe our fans will not expect but ultimately will enjoy."

In February 2025, DIRTY HONEY issued "Mayhem And Revelry Live", the Los Angeles-based first live-in-concert, double-vinyl CD and digital release, and its companion four-part video documentary, recorded live throughout North America and Europe on DIRTY HONEY's 2023-24 "Can't Find The Brakes" world tour.

DIRTY HONEY made music biz history in 2019 when the band's debut single, "When I'm Gone", went all the way to No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock and Hard Rock charts, making DIRTY HONEY the first — and still only — totally independent, unsigned artist to achieve that. The band sold out its first two U.S. headline tours, Rolling Stone named them an "Artist You Need To Know," their self-titled, debut album was released in April 2021, and with no major label affiliation or support, entered the Current Hard Rock Album chart at No. 2. The band received rave reviews and standing ovations when they opened for THE BLACK CROWES on that band's nine-week summer 2021 "Shake Your Money Maker" U.S. amphitheater tour, and averaged $15,000 a night in t-shirt/merch sales.

DIRTY HONEY first toured Europe in summer 2022, playing support dates with RIVAL SONS, KISS and GUNS N' ROSES, plus a handful of first-time headline shows, all sold out, many of which had to be moved to larger venues due to ticket demand. In January 2023, they returned for their very first full headline tour there — 30 shows in 13 countries, all dates sold out. June/July 2023 saw them playing support shows with GUNS N' ROSES and KISS, plus major festival appearances and headline dates — 21 shows in 12 countries — with all headline dates sold out.

In April 2025, DIRTY HONEY performed the song "When I'm Gone" on an episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" The track, which was originally released in 2019, is featured in "A Minecraft Movie". It plays during the first two and a half minutes of the film while Jason Momoa's character Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison is introduced.
