NEW YORK, NY – January 14, 2026 – Today, Charleston, SC-based indie-rockers Easy Honey have released their new single “Everything I See” alongside the announcement of their forthcoming EP Plaid, out April 30 on the newly formed Third Brother Records (via Atlantic Records’ 10K Projects – read the Billboard exclusive). PRESS HERE to listen to the funky guitar driven lead single from the rapid-fire five song EP which was written and recorded over a three-day session at an isolated cabin in snowy Marble, Colorado and mixed by the legendary Tony Hoffer (Beck Phoenix, The Kooks, Air, M83). “Everything I See,” which is part of ESPN’s January Music of the Month, is an energetic, sweeping track that features raw, emotive vocals – a solid introduction to the EP, showcasing the band’s growth while remaining rooted in the intimate, introspective qualities their fans have come to love.
The tremendous creative power between Easy Honey’s members Selby Austin (vocals, guitar), Darby McGlone (vocals, guitar), Charlie Holt (drums, vocals) and Webster Austin (bass, vocals) is on full display in Plaid, and while the quartet is celebrated for their heartfelt, nostalgic sound, this versatile EP finds them deepening their musical exploration with a more refined and expansive approach; reflecting a creative-concept they’ve dubbed “tilting the cone.” It’s a sampler platter of styles that leaves the listener wanting more, tethered together by their classic song structures and instantly memorable hooks and relatable raucous yet sentimental lyrics about love, wistfulness and life’s big moments.
“The cone was the symbol of the last record, how far we went,” says Easy Honey. “We had this idea: What if we just go deeper into different genres and it’ll pull us out of ourselves more but also, in this weird way, cyclically make us more ourselves? That’s what Plaid is about—these songs are all very different, but they all intersect in some way.”
Easy Honey’s catalog is already robust: five EPs, one live record, and three studio albums, including 2024’s critically acclaimed Cupidity Unlimited (check out their Garden & Gun Back Porch Session HERE), and as their live shows have taken off with an organic buzz (reaching another level in 2025 when they opened a run of dates for indie-pop artist Carter Vail), the band has stayed prolific in the studio, refining a sound that echoes their name: sweet but thick, sugary but substantial, harkening back to a more carefree era of rock music.
This winter, Easy Honey will support The Runarounds (from the hit Amazon Prime Series of the same name) ahead of their own just-announced headline tour and will appear as an official showcasing artist at SXSW (full routing can be found below). All dates are on sale now - PRESS HERE for tickets and more information.
ABOUT EASY HONEY
Easy Honey is a Charleston, SC based indie rock band that infuses its singer-songwriter folk roots with an original mix of nostalgic East Coast surf-rock. Originating at The University of The South: Sewanee over a cooler filled with freshman year college punch, the dynamic of this group is one of their strongest elements, existing with an electricity and a true sense of comradery both on and off stage. Easy Honey, like so many of their mutual rock heroes, cut their teeth on the road and have built a devoted following of daydreamers and night seekers through extensive touring and sold-out gigs. Just like their live shows, which have taken them to audiences nationwide, their influences remain all over the map and pull from the classic rock and power-pop staples of their parents’ record collections (Big Star, Neil Young), up through '90s alt heroes Blind Melon as well as indie tunesmiths like Dr. Dog. No matter if they’re harmonizing next to a beach bonfire or exploring the rhythmic twists of a funky riff on stage (or off – check out their viral “TRAFFIC JAMS” on TikTok), their music inevitably pulls you closer with an open-armed, all-are-welcome spirit.
