Stina Tweeddale
Artist, Honeyblood
Honeyblood is the acclaimed rock-pop project centred around singer, songwriter and guitarist Stina Tweeddale.
Backed by her supporting live band, Honeyblood is one of the most successful breakout Scottish acts in recent years; having completed sold-out headline tours across the UK, US, Europe, Australia and Asia, as well as having shared stages with the likes of Foo Fighters, Wolf Alice and Garbage.
Heavily championed by press and radio alike, Honeyblood has released three critically acclaimed albums – each Nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award – and has long-time fans in BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, Q and The Guardian to name but a few.
Honeyblood’s latest album – ‘In Plain Sight’ – was released in May 2019 on Marathon Artists. Recorded in LA and produced by John Congleton (Angel Olsen, St Vincent), the record marked a pivotal turning point in Honeyblood’s journey, with Stina taking full control of the project as her sole creative vision and releasing her most ambitious and experimental output to date. Tweeddale has evolved Honeyblood to become her vehicle for delivering anthemic and life-affirming songs that deeply resonate with fans across the globe.
Having been in the middle of recording the fourth Honeyblood album when the pandemic hit in 2020, Tweeddale pivoted her plans and began developing a lockdown creative project under the name Stina Marie Claire in collaboration with fans on Patreon. Returning to her DIY roots, the 4-track EP ‘A Souvenir of a Terrible Year’ was released on 1 October 2021 via Tweeddale’s own label ICEBLINK LUCK; presenting an intimate, vulnerable and tender snapshot of her life as an artist throughout 2020’s lockdown.
Having now re-commenced work on the fourth Honeyblood record, it’s shaping up to be the defining album of her career. Packed with songs that are well-crafted, powerful and fully-formed, the fourth LP is set to leave listeners hooked in an instant and take Honeyblood to exciting and hard-earned new heights.
