A New Honour ( Winnipeg, Manitoba , Canada)

A New Honour is an emerging alternative rock band from Winnipeg, Canada that came together in September 2006. A line up change of the original three members forced the band to regroup and begin tracking their debut record at Studio 11 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Thirty-six songs were narrowed down to 14 for the debut album “The Untitled Truce”. The album spawned their charting single “Artificial” which landed them a spot on two radio station compilation CD’s, “Power 97’s Class of 2007” and “Freq 107’s Local Heroes Frequency Vol.1.” The music can be best described as melodic alternative rock. The name sums it all up and describes the band’s attitude towards making music. A new creative outlet was formed and the ability to communicate and lift people up with their inspirational lyrics was seen as an honour to the band. The name, A New Honour, was what the band was looking for all along.One of the most impressive facts about the band is their age. All being under 24 years old, the youngest member being 19, the band can only grow stronger in time.

With lyrics that flow effortlessly alongside well-constructed guitar riffs, it is easy to see why the band has become one of the most played unsigned rock bands on PureVolume.com, and are climbing the charts on MySpace daily.The band has managed to create an online buzz on sites such as Myspace, Purevolume and Garageband.

They have the modern rock sound and style down..." - The Winnipeg Free Press 3 out of 5 Stars "...the melodies are strong enough to place them above the typical rock music masses that make one change the station...A New Honour proves to be worthwhile. It is encouraging to see local talent go that extra mile, attempting something bigger than the usual.
