Interview: Honor Society

Yesterday I had the chance to talk with Honor Society. The band members are Michael Bruno, Jason Rosen, Andrew Lee and Alexander Noyes. Currently they are on tour with the Jonas Brothers but also simultaneously headlining they're own tour called The Full Moon Crazy Tour.
In the May issue of Rolling Stone Magazine Honor Society was named as one of the six breakout bands to watch from Bamboozle 2009.
Obviously with two tours going on these guys are very busy. Here's what they had to say:
CH: How did the band get started?
HS: We grew up together and have known each other for at least 15 years. We played in a few different bands through school before starting Honor Society 2 years ago.
CH: How would you describe your music to someone who might not know you that well.
HS: Upbeat, Pop Rock with some R&B Flare. We like Michael Jackson, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
CH: Next week you are coming to Cleveland and you are playing two shows. Are you ready for that and do you normally play two shows in one day?
HS: It's pretty normal to play two shows a day. We are lucky to be on tour with Jonas Brothers and have the opportunity to also do the Full Moon Crazy Tour. We've done 4 or 5 performances in one day.
CH: I see you are all on Twitter. How do you like using it and who Tweets the most out of the band?
HS: We love Twitter. We have promoted our Pinkberry Parking Lot Parties using Twitter. We send out a tweet about where we'll be and fans come and hang out with us.
CH: What is your least favorite thing about being on tour?
HS: Getting laundry done.
CH: What's next for you after touring this summer?
HS: Most likely we will be doing a fall tour to promote our album, "Fashionably Late". We'll be doing many other things to promote that I'm sure. We also have a part in the new "Alvin and the Chipmunk's 2" movie which comes out on Christmas day.
CH: You've been to a lot of cities recently. What has been your favorite stop or favorite venue on this tour?
HS: Not sure we have a favorite. Every city has been great. We have a large fan base on myspace so it's been nice to see everyone coming out to our shows. We've traveled across The United States and have had the chance to see many cities, all special in a different way.
CH: What is your favorite song to perform?
HS: Full Moon Crazy.
CH: What has been your biggest challenge as a band so far.
HS: Just getting our music out there. Trying to think of creative ways to promote our music. We credit myspace 150% to the success of getting our name and music out there.
CH: Who writes your music?
HS: Usually we come up with a title or a song concept and then we all collaborate with each other. The Jonas Brothers have also collaborated with us.
CH: Your album, "Fashionably Late" is going to release on September 15th. Any plans to celebrate this day?
HS: Yes. We've talked about doing something in New York with our families and possibly something in LA where we spend a lot of our time.
Honor Society will be opening for the Jonas Brothers at Quicken Loans arena here in Cleveland on August 27th. Early that same day Honor Society will perform at the House of Blues in Cleveland as part of the Full Moon Crazy Tour. You can buy tickets for both shows at Ticketmaster.com
