Pennsylvania-based Groovy Heavy Rockers Almost Honest have released a cover version of The Beatles‘ “Wait.”
Band comments on the song: “We wanted to take our influences in Red Fang and Alice in Chains and bring them into this cover/reimagining. This is what we came up with. We kept the vocal harmonies relatively the same so it would give it the same feel. We reworked the riff to make it sludgy with a pinch of grunge. We also wanted to have a shredding solo at the end which was not in the original. We created a riff to go behind it. We wanted that riff to slowly fade to give the listener time to reflect.”

Almost Honest’s third full-length, “The Hex of Penn’s Woods,” was released last year via Argonauta Records. The very last copies of the colored vinyl are available HERE.
Coughed up from a smoke filled corner deep in the Central Pennsylvania Rock scene in 2012, Almost Honest is a four-piece riff conspiracy dipped in enough sludge to choke mammoth, enough groove to make the dead dance, lyrics that could summon a Sasquatch and make her sing along, and a tonal brilliance that was crafted by master sound-smiths and enchanted by sonic-shamans.
Helmed by the darkly dulcet guitarist Shayne Reed, driven by the jungle rattling bassist Garrett Spangler, lifted up by the immense leads of David Kopp and powered by the ent-war thump of drummer Quinten Spangler, Almost Honest has evolved into a Rock act to be reckoned with.
Focusing the energy they would have put into extensive touring during the past two years and using ritual druid magics, they conceived, wrote, and recorded a brand new album whose details will be revealed soon.
Almost Honest is poised to deliver more of their unique, creamy fuzz soaked, Metallic Prog-Funk potion, with a riot punch live show that Pennsylvania head bangers have come to crave as soon as the world is ready!
