History

Pre-Black Honey

The band started when Izzy met Chris at university and started to write music together. Originally called 'Whats Your Vice?' from 2009 until 2011, the band went through several lineup changes, originally Izzy B. Phillips on vocals and guitar, Chris Ostler on guitar, Tom Chilton on Bass and Cookie on Drums. The band went through a string of bass players and eventually current band member Tommy Taylor joined 'Whats Your Vice?' on drums. They released a song called "Vampire".

By 2012 they had changed their name to 'Kill Moon', with Izzy, Chris, Tommy (now on bass) and Tom Dew on drums. The band released a series of singles, as well as an EP titled Jupiter.

Black Honey (2014–2020)

Black Honey officially formed in June 2014, releasing their first song under this name, "Sleep Forever", in the same month. Subsequent songs were released to form a self-titled debut EP, released in November 2014. The EP featured the tracks "Sleep Forever", "Teenager", "The Taste" and "Bloodlust".[9][10]
