Savings - To Be Honest





1. Who are Savings? 

Good question. To be honest I don't think they gave their band name a lot of thought. It's shit and hard to Google. Savings are a pop punk band with emo roots from Albuquerque, New Mexico. To Be Honest is from their second E.P. How Do You Feel? (Aug, 2024). Which is a banger by all accounts.


2. What kind of tune is To Be Honest

To Be Honest is a song packed full of familiar pop punk and 90's alternative rock tropes and yet it also feels fresh. It opens treading softly with some earworm lyrics weaving a tale of lost love and when the chorus lands thirty seconds later and it's a keeper.


3. Which bands do Savings sound like? 

Hot Mulligan, Free Throw, and Right On, Kid. 


4. Which bands have influenced Savings? 

Some of their influences are Movements, Slowly Slowly, Trophy Eyes, and The Wonder Years. 


5. What have people said about Saving's music? 

"Spell-binding hooks with cathartic guitars" - Music Crowns.

"Introspective but outwardly gripping anthems" - New Noise Magazine

"A band hooked on pop punk and punk elements" - The Review Geek.



"I'm not in it for the long nights,
The late conversations,
But I'd still give you the moon if you let me"
