Honor By August is an American rock band that has built a dedicated following with their emotive and compelling brand of music, marked by a signature blend of powerhouse melodies and soulful vocals. Founded in Washington, D.C., the group consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Michael Pearsall, bassist Evan Field, drummer Brian Shanley, and guitarist Ed Wyner (though band line-up may have changed over time). Their work is characterized by its lyrical depth and musical dynamism, which has often been compared favorably to the anthemic, earnest energy of bands like U2 and Kings of Leon.

Throughout their career, Honor By August has released a string of successful projects that showcase their evolution as artists, including albums like "Drowning Out The Television" and "Monuments To Progress." Songs like "Already Yours" and "Last Chance," particularly in their acoustic renditions, display the band’s range and ability to strip down their sound for an intimate listening experience. With "Four Sides" and "Mad Mission," the band continued to push their creative boundaries and consolidate their place in the indie rock landscape. Over the years, Honor By August's relentless touring and their knack for crafting relatable, gripping tunes have earned them a spot on stages alongside some of the industry's major acts, affirming their role as one of the compelling voices in the rock genre.
