“This is now Thunderbird Analog Recording Studios in Oceanside. Yearsley is both the owner and chief engineer. Tonight, the Honkys are coming in for their weekly recording session. It’s been going on four years with the Honkys, a roots trio that consists of brothers Bret and Broy Hazzard and bassist Sean McCarty. “The Honkys’ll be here for six hours tonight,” he says. “I don’t want anybody to have to take a break and go out for a pizza.” There is also a full bar at Thunderbird. When the band members arrive, shots of brandy circulate. - Thomas Yearsley”

"Got the CD, drove around listening to it (the Honkys Vol. II) in the car: fantastic. The sound is much richer than those dinky MP3s! A definite stand-out among everything that's come my way the past couple years. Arriba!" - Dio ~ "Got the CD, drove around listening to it (the Honkys Vol. II) in the car: fantastic.

“The Honkys have a true grit thing going in their sound, but it is much less rockabilly than one might expect. “We all like raw, old music in lots of different ways.””

— Dave Good, San Diego Reader

“Since 1992 - Arts and crafts street fairs abound this time of year in North County, but the organizers of Oceanside Days of Art promise one thing others can't: Every piece sold at the two-day festival April 16 and 17 will be one of a kind. Many great local music acts including:...The Honkys! will perform.”

“The Honkys! – 8 Track Disc By Ron Gruszczynski Rockin626.com Built for Cruisin, The Honkys! 8 Tack Disc is road-ready nod to the Hey Day of American Music. This disc fades into “Going to Mexico” which comes on like a storm chasing you across the desert as you rumble towards the boarder. This instrumental track is all thick dark clouds of reverb sprinkled with shimmery twang in all the right places. Up next is “Reno”, a jangly road trip crooner dusted with Appalachian harmonies, highlighted by Bret Hazzard’s nimble guitar work and Sean McCarty highway wisdom. All in all 8 Track Disc is a toe-tappin’ party starter, perfect for the open road or a trip down to the liquor store. A must have for your music collection.
