Los Angeles-based pop-rock power duo Honey Revenge are back at it again with possibly the song of the summer, "Risk." The duo consists of Devin Papadol (Vocals) and Donny Lloyd (guitar). The two have always been known for shining through with fearless charisma and feel-good energy, which has led to them quickly gaining popularity and success since their debut album, "Retrovision." This confident new track is accompanied by a lively, eye-catching music video that fully amplifies the band's signature mix of colorful aesthetics and bold, fun personality. It’s a true anthem of encouragement to face fear head-on and embrace the unknown, which can eventually lead to chasing what truly makes you happy in the end.


Right at the first beat, "Risk" is packed with crisp, energetic guitar riffs and a pulsing rhythm that powers through with nonstop intensity. The song gives us that feel-good type beat, which blends perfectly together with its message of personal strength and heartfelt lyrics, hitting home on so many levels. Even though the track still has that fun and edgy style we all know so well, the duo has made their mark on a new era as they continue to release impactful music from the heart. Lyrics like "Don't hate the change cause' it's different" and "The way you hide any weakness" are shaping up to be my personal favorites, as they feel relatable not only for myself, but I'm sure for many other listeners as well.

Everything about this song screams resilience, and it's the perfect lighthearted tune we all need in our lives when life gets challenging. The music video for the track perfectly complements Honey Revenge's vibrant and fearless attitude, and embraces their aesthetic which is truly one of a kind in the music scene. The video sheds light on themes of taking risks in life and living life the way you want to! Like past videos, they still share the same elements of fun, colorful presence that grab your attention every time. I have to say, fans should get ready for the band's next phase in their music career, as these two are more than ready to take the pop-rock scene by storm.

With the release of "Risk" and many other creative songs ready to take the spotlight, Honey Revenge are artists you should keep an eye out for. You can also catch them on their first U.S. headlining tour and all three Vans Warped Tour dates this summer. They are far from playing it safe when it comes to their new music-and that's what makes them such a standout act in their ever evolving music journey.
