REVIEW : Honeymoon Suite, Wake Me Up When The Sun Goes Down (2025 Frontiers Records, Release date: July 25, 2025)

Honeymoon Suite is a classic Melodic Rock/AOR band that since its creation has released some impressive and classic records. Nowdays, the band strikes back with its 9th official full-length opus entitled "Wake Me Up When The Sun Goes Down" through the Italian music label Frontiers Music.

After the very first spin of this new opus, I have to say that it's solid! Some of the band's classic elements are here but also some newer and modern 'pinches' are here as well. Honeymoon Suite is a band that is well-known for its infectious blend of melodic rock, powerful hooks and captivating lyrics, no doubt 'bout that. By listening to the new effort the sure thing is that you'll not be dissapointed. 

The new record features a great mix of rockers along with some ballads for balance. For sure don't expect a new "Monster Under The Bed" or a new "Racing After Midnight". That was a long time ago. We are in 2025 and most of the 'old' bands have nothing more to proove, period! It's time to experiment a bit, as long this expiriment sounds good. 

Some standout tracks out of the new album are the amazing power ballad "Live On", the groovier "Unpredictable", the 'punchier' tune of "Ever Leave You Lonely", the ultra melodic anthem of "I Fly" and the huge rocker "Way Of The World". Checkout also the ass-kickin' tune of "Crazy Life"  with its big bad groove and its big guitars!! One of my personal favourites out of "Wake Me Up When The Sun Goes Down".

For sure Honeymoon Suite's brand new record is a pleasure listening and includes some strong tracks in it!
