Dirty Honey

It consists of singer Marc LaBelle, guitarist John Notto, bassist Justin Smolian, and drummer Jaydon Bean.

When the trio had trouble finding a drummer, Smolian brought in Corey Coverstone, who enthusiastically asked to join.

[10] After hearing their song "When I'm Gone", the band's longtime friend Mark DiDia, a music industry veteran from Columbia Records, became their manager.

He quickly arranged opening gigs for Slash in 2018 and 2019 (with various shows featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators).

[15] Dirty Honey opened for Skillet and Alter Bridge on their Victorious Sky Tour from September 22 to October 25.

[17] Originally planning a return to Australia to record their self-titled debut album in March 2020, flight restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to relocate to Henson Studios in Hollywood, California, with producer Nick DiDia virtually supervising them, along with the complete scrapping of the music video for the track "Heartbreaker" from their previous EP.

[23][24] They embarked on their first European tour in summer 2022, which included shows opening for Guns N' Roses, Kiss, and Rival Sons.
