A New Honour is an emerging alternative rock band from Winnipeg,
Canada that came together in September 2006. A line up change of
the original three members forced the band to regroup and begin
tracking their debut record at Studio 11 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Thirty-six songs were narrowed down to 14 for the debut album
“The Untitled Truce”. The album spawned their charting single
“Artificial” which landed them a spot on two radio station
compilation CD’s, “Power 97’s Class of 2007” and “Freq 107’s
Local Heroes Frequency Vol.1.”
The music can be best described as melodic alternative rock. The
name sums it all up and describes the band’s attitude towards
making music. A new creative outlet was formed and the ability
to communicate and lift people up with their inspirational
lyrics was seen as an honour to the band. The name, A New Honour,
was what the band was looking for all along.
One of the most impressive facts about the band is their age.
All being under 24 years old, the youngest member being 19, the
band can only grow stronger in time. Writing songs since the age
of 15, songwriter William Prince's talents improve daily and
push the band's talent to a whole new level. With lyrics that
flow effortlessly alongside well-constructed guitar riffs, it is
easy to see why the band has become one of the most played
unsigned rock bands on PureVolume.com, and are climbing the
charts on MySpace daily.
The band has managed to create an online buzz on sites such as
Myspace, Purevolume and Garageband. They have been featured in
many newspapers receiving rave reviews for their performances
and debut CD. Along with these accolades the band was awarded a
special feature on CTV’s Spotlight with Sylvia Kuzyk. A New
Honour are no strangers to the airwaves as they have done
numerous radio spots on Power 97 and Freq 107 in Winnipeg, as
well as receive daily airplay on Winnipeg's primary rock radio
stations. At the same time, they were crowned the regional
winners for the nationwide Mazda Muzik Tour in March 2008.
Now here in Winnipeg is a developing new force in alternative
music. The band has done all the work necessary to build a
strong home fan base and are excited to take their show on the
road this summer. With a solid debut album, the group is
currently being shopped to major labels, producers and agents to
further their career. A New Honour is a band certainly on their
way to success. Be sure to catch them online, on tour, and
gracing the airwaves of your local rock station.
