HONEYMOON SUITE, EH?

DETROIT—“I consider us neither new wave, nor heavy metal,” quips Honeymoon Suite songwriter/guitarist Derry Grehan. The authors eagerly nod in agreement. “We are power pop heavy metal,” Derry continues. “We’re not heavy metal. We’re not pop. We’re...in between. We are rock ’n’ roll, but the music makes sense, has melody, and has meat to it.”

The boys in the band hail from various regions of Canada. Their name? Yep, you guessed it, it’s due to the fact that one of the members come from the Niagara Falls area. Good idea, eh? Drummer Dave Betts notes, “We grew in different parts essentially, and we’re all into the same bands. I was into Deep Purple and heavily into the Who.”
