Honor Bright ‐ who've drawn comparisons to bands like Taking Back Sunday, Mayday Parade, and All Time Low ‐ began in 2006, following a short‐lived hardcore stint between founding front man Liam DiCosimo and guitarist/vocalist Tim Paige. "We didn't want to just call it quits, so we decided we were going to start playing the kind of music we grew up listening to, like Green Day and MXPX. Something closer to a pop‐punk sound," explains DiCosimo. "But, because we all came from rock & roll and hardcore bands, we wanted to still have that rock edge to it." By the close of 2006, bassist Anthony Merritt, drummer Curt Henry, and guitarist Ryan Gilmore joined the fold, solidifying the band's lineup.
"We write our songs more like they're conversations," says DiCosimo. "I would say the underlying theme would be the sorts of conversations you'll have with your friends, your band mates, your girlfriend, ex girlfriend, whatever. We've always wanted to make it so the songs could be accessible and people could listen to a song and equate it to their own lives. There are common themes; heartbreak, hanging out with your friends, loving what you do. These are concepts that anyone of any age can identify with."
