Normally on Bicester’s Sheep Street you can observe youths hanging around, business people marching and shoppers on the prowl for latest trends. This weekend however was different, this weekend In Your Honour burst onto the scene, allowing everyone a musical delight as they pass by. Self described as a “beach pop sound”, In Your Honour are a three-piece band from Bicester, Oxfordshire made up of lead vocalist Amie Johnson, Guitarist and vocalist Karl Herring and Cajon player Paul Bray. Whilst In Your Honour performed an array of covers and originals, locals were spotted singing and dancing along, taking photos and even donating money to the band. Amie’s voice has been described as “powerful” and “diverse in range” which she harmonises with Karl’s buoyant riffs and Paul’s intricate beats. In Your Honour’s self written songs are carefully organised to release a contagious mood that brings cheer to all its listeners. Even the covers are rearranged to grant you an upbeat adaptation of the original. The threesome successfully created an energetic vibe that flowed through the town like a breath of fresh air, bringing folk to life. Saturday 29th June proved In Your Honour to be an exciting band to listen to and watch with their quirky songs, and non stagnant performance. Bicester should be proud to house such a fantastic group of talent.
The band is available for an assortment of occasions; weddings, festivals, parties etc. They have also hinted at a promising EP release later on this year, but until then here’s a YouTube link you can visit them on: www.youtube.com/inyourhonourband.
