It’s a few hours before showtime for Dirty Honey and singer Marc Labelle is backstage at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl, wearing sunglasses indoors. The rest of the band is seated against the wall next to him, all in a row, to field questions about their latest album, Can’t Find the Brakes; changes within the group (they have a new drummer); and whether it’s possible to live the rock star lifestyle in an era where everyone is always watching and judging.

Hard rockers Dirty Honey have shared “Won’t Take Me Alive,” the first single from their forthcoming album, Can’t Find the Breaks.

The track premiered last month as part of TNT’s NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs coverage and is now receiving a formal release across digital platforms. It’s structured around a lanky, strutting guitar riff, over which singer Marc Labelle’s howls and coos with the utmost hubris.

“The best riff I’d heard in the last decade,” enthused Labelle of guitarist John Notto’s striking axework. “The song is full of sex and swagger, but it’s still got the heaviness and the fun that Dirty Honey’s all about.”
