"Vibe check — don't you feel out of place?" That's one of the many knowing lines in the bouncy yet bleak "Top Shelf," a track on the recent debut album from Memphis, Tenn., post-hardcore upstarts Honoré. The patter might be present-day, but the sound surrounding it brings to mind the many underground acts that layered a clean singer and a screamer atop chunky guitar riffs in the aughts — which
isn't a bad thing. In fact, Honoré seem content to bring that style back around while proving that Memphis is now home to a lot more than just Elvis nostalgia and soul music history.
