Athens-based stoner rock juggernauts Honeybadger are back with their most explosive track yet — "Panic Button" — a fuzz-fueled gut punch that captures the chaos of modern life with groove, grit, and unapologetic soul.

Saturated in desert rock swagger and grunge-era attitude, Panic Button slams down the gas pedal and refuses to let up. With sludgy, hook-driven riffs and razor-sharp lyricism, the band delivers a raw and rebellious anthem for anyone teetering on the edge of burnout — or already plunging into the abyss.

The single drips with urgency: warped by war, rattled by anxiety, and scorched by a culture of manipulation and conformity. Honeybadger aren’t just venting — they’re lighting the match.

“I just found my panic button / And we’re going straight to hell…”

Having carved a decade-long path through Greece’s underground rock scene, Honeybadger have evolved — more urgent, more anthemic, and more necessary than ever. Panic Button builds on the emotional grit of Empty-Handed and kicks down the door into a darker, more defiant dimension.

If you're tired of smiling through the chaos and playing by someone else's rules, Panic Button is your wake-up call. Press it loud. Press it now.

About

Honeybadger is a desert rock powerhouse from Athens, Greece, blending stoner rock, heavy metal, indie/alternative, and grunge into a sound that’s both raw and ever-evolving. Since their formation in 2015, they’ve carved out a distinct presence in the Greek and international rock scenes, earning recognition for their dynamic songwriting and relentless energy.

Their discography includes The Rain EP (2017), their debut album Pleasure Delayer (2020), and their latest single Diamonds (2023). With each release, they’ve pushed their boundaries, refining their sound while staying true to their heavy, groove-laden roots.

Renowned for their high-energy live performances, Honeybadger has shared the stage with some of Greece’s biggest rock acts and performed at select festivals across the country. Their recent standout show at ACHERON MUSIC SESSIONS 2 at Arch Club in Athens (February 2024) was followed by a series of intimate gigs, keeping the momentum alive.

Following key lineup changes, the band has expanded back into a four-piece, bringing a fuller, more guitar-driven sound rich in melody and depth. Now, they’re gearing up for their highly anticipated sophomore album, Let There Be Light, set for release in spring 2025—both digitally and live.
