8 years.

That’s how long Honor Society has been a band. Longer then some (or most) hollywood relationships and unlike most of them, at times, me and the guys live AND work together 24/7. That’s friendship and even more, brotherhood. Even if you get tired of being around each other the thought of not being around each other is worse. 

The story of Honor Society starts years ago, late one night, two days before Christmas. I got a phone call from one of my friends who I had been in a band with all through high school and college that he was leaving the band, therefore ending the band. Until that point that band had been my identity, so this news was momentarily crushing. 

I don’t know if its my uncontrollable optimism, but the second I hung up the phone I said in my head ‘I’m going to start a new band, right.now.’ And with no other band members, no music, no name, nothing, just me staring in a daze at my family’s Christmas tree and its ornaments and lights, I did. And that was the inception of Honor Society. (I guess technically we had 3 other insanely terrible band names, but none the less you get the picture)

To be perfectly clear Honor Society would not be Honor Society without Jay, Andy and Alex, in addition to myself, that’s for SURE so I’m not taking sole credit. But I wanted to give you an insight into how: 1. out of uncertainty in your life can come some of your biggest blessings and 2. A real look into Honor Society

We are most of what you think we are, but we are also much more.
