Honeywell

Honeywell were a hardcore punk band from Corona, California that is commonly seen as the first screamo band to of existed. They were associated with the Southern California emo scene of the early-1990's, and they released a studio album, two extended plays, a split, and two demo tapes before breaking up in 1995.

The band were initially influenced by Straight Edge hardcore and emo, and they utilized heavily distorted, screamed vocals. Initially, the vocal style was a joke, however the band liked them enough to keep it. Their final live show was performed in 1994 at Cell 63, where they played with other early screamo bands such as Nuzzle and Mohinder. They officially broke up in 1995, after recording material that would eventually be released as their final EP, Electric Kool Aid.
