Honey Bane - You Can Be You EP

Honey Banes first solo single, which followed her first single on 'Small Wonder' under the name of the 'Fatal Microbes (coming later).

The sleeve also names Honey Bane as Donna and the Kebabs. Released on the Crass label (which also appears to have influenced this single with a Crass sound backing) as a three track EP. I like all three tracks, the best being 'Girl On The Run', when it starts you could easily be forgiven for thinking it was Crass and then Honey Banes vocals come in, and she makes it her own sound.

The cover is another hand made stapled together typical Crass type, which is a pain to scan, but here it is for any of you that do not have a copy of this.

Band: Honey Bane
Label: Crass
Year: 1979
Tracks:
1. Girl On The Run
2. Porno Grows

Ripped from glorious scratched vinyl:


There doesn't seem to be much of Honey Bane's music readily available other than the odd track on some compilations. I'll post her other singles later on.

Honey Bane - Guilty

Honey Bane's second solo single and a big genre move from her debut EP. This has Honey groaning away at the beginning (and the end) and then moves into a much more commercial sound with a nice little guitar riff, although it takes a few plays to grow on you.

The b-side 'Guilty Dub' has even more groaning, and considering I love dub but not this kind of dub attempt it doesn't work for me.

The cover also came in a yellow variant.

Etchings on both sides of this one, on the a-side we have "Bonne and Clyde Part 2 " and on the b-side we have "They got you in the end". Also has on the a-side " A Porky Prime Cut".

Artist: Honey Bane
Label: HB
