The Honeysticks EP is an album about romance and self love in the internet age.

This is the debut EP of Los Angeles experimental pop quartet, The Honeysticks. This EP marks the departure of the group from the "Ricky Montgomery" moniker, a decision made to distance the group from its Vine roots and give it its own identity.

The Honeysticks EP showcases Ricky and Caleb Hurst (the other main songwriter on the EP) fighting for relevance in the absence of Vine, the app that gave both of them modest careers on the internet. It features the members individually pulling from broader influences like Radiohead, Vampire Weekend, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Björk, James Blake and more to achieve a more dynamic/current sound in the wake of an ever-more irrelevant rock industry. It draws heavily from short-lived long distance relationships and a potent cynicism as the American political system becomes more and more polarized and impossible to talk about with anyone.
