Our Take

HONEYMOON SUITE's "The Big Prize" is like finding a forgotten gem at the back of your grandma's closet - slightly outdated but undeniably charming. This Canadian rock band brings us back to the heyday of big hair and power ballads with this 1986 album, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride from start to finish. From the moment the opening track "Bad Attitude" blasts through your speakers, you know you're in for a good time. Lead singer Johnnie Dee's raspy vocals soar over the catchy guitar riffs and punchy drums, creating a sound that's as nostalgic as it is infectious. What really sets HONEYMOON SUITE apart is their ability to blend cheesy 80s synthpop with hard-hitting rock anthems. Tracks like "Feel It Again" and "Gone By Dawn" showcase the band's versatility, taking listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions that's as exhilarating as it is ridiculous. And let's not forget the power ballad masterpiece that is "All Along You Knew". Sure, "The Big Prize" may not be groundbreaking or revolutionary, but it's undeniably fun. So grab your hairspray, throw on your leather jacket, and crank up the volume on this underrated gem. Who knows, you might just find yourself dancing like it's 1986 all over again.

About the artist

Honeymoon Suite

HONEYMOON SUITE are the Canadian rock band that time forgot. Bursting onto the scene in the mid-80s with their infectious blend of power pop and arena rock, these guys were poised for greatness. But alas, fate had other plans. Lead singer Johnnie Dee's soaring vocals and guitarist Derry Grehan's killer riffs made HONEYMOON SUITE a force to be reckoned with, but for some reason, they never quite reached the heights of their peers. Maybe it was their lack of a signature hit, or perhaps it was just bad luck. Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure: these guys deserve a second chance. Their self-titled debut album is a hidden gem of the 80s rock scene, with tracks like "New Girl Now" and "Wave Babies" showcasing the band's knack for killer hooks and infectious melodies. And let's not forget about their criminally underrated follow-up, "The Big Prize", which spawned the hits "Feel It Again" and "Bad Attitude". With their larger-than-life hair and penchant for leather jackets, HONEYMOON SUITE may have been a product of their time, but their music is timeless. So dust off your old cassette tapes and give these guys another listen. Who knows, you might just find your new favourite band.
