Fashionably Late. The band will tour this spring in more than thirty cities in the United States and Canada including dates in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Boston, Chicago, Houston, New Orleans and Washington DC to name a few. Since the spring of 2009, Honor Society has been named a breakout band to watch by
Rolling Stone, identified as a Buzzworthy band by MTV and earned an opening spot on one of the biggest tours of the summer as they joined the Jonas Brothers and Jordin Sparks on the North American leg of the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009. In addition, Honor Society recently expanded its fan base by performing with Grammy winning producer and singer, Timbaland as part of his 'Shock Value 2 Tour'.
Honor Society's explosive growth is due in large part to the commitment of their ever growing fan base of intensely loyal fans. The band’s infectious sound, skilled musicianship, high energy live shows and sense of style, has led to over five million plays on MySpace. Honor Society’s debut album,
Fashionably Late, was released in September 2009 and hit the Billboard charts at #18 in its first week.
In just the last few months, Honor Society has raised their profile with national appearances on
Jimmy Kimmel Live, NBC's
The Today Show, CBS's
The Early Show and in January 2010, Honor Society was invited to the 2010 Pro Bowl to sing the National Anthem. "It was an incredible honor to perform at this year's Pro Bowl. We are die hard football fans so this was really a dream come true for us," said lead singer Michael Bruno. In addition, Honor Society was asked to record a single for the Winter Olympic Soundtrack sponsored by AT&T, with a new song entitled ‘Can’t Box Me In’. The soundtrack features other artists including Mariah Carey, Sugarland, Train and Rascal Flatts.
Honor Society started with high school friends, Michael Bruno (lead singer/guitarist) and Jason Rosen (keyboards/guitar), who both had spent time during their years in Rockland County, New York playing in various bands but had always spoke of forming a group of their own – one that would reflect their musical influences that ranged from Stevie Wonder to Prince to Kanye West. After graduating from college, Michael (NYU School of Music) and Jason (Berklee College of Music) connected with two self-taught and talented musicians, Andrew Lee (bass) and eventually Alexander Noyes (drums). It was with that final addition to the band that all the pieces fell into place and the group became Honor Society. From the beginning, the four members of Honor Society were deeply involved with all aspects of their development - whether it was designing their MySpace page, booking shows, acting as their own street team or even developing the concept for their album art. Their commitment and attention to detail as well as a clear vision for the band, led Honor Society to become a hit on the local music scene.
In early 2008, Honor Society released what would become their break out song, “See U in the Dark”, which became an instant hit with their fans. “That was the first song we recorded with Alex after he joined the group,” says Andrew Lee. “Once we started the recording process, we knew right away that we were on to something with that song.
