The Story...

In early 2004, the Honor Role exploded into the scene, becoming one of the most promising and talked about acts in the region, creating a buzz thanks to an intense live show, word of mouth, guerrilla promotion and the internet.
Originally consisting of brothers Justin (vocals) and Bobby Vaughn (guitar/vox), along with Dan Weiss (Guitar), Frank Fini (drums) and a string of bassists (including Kevin Buchanon, Zakir Ghazi and Mark Orevik), the high strung 5-piece captured something that could only be translated by witnessing their live set.
Utilizing good musicianship, brutally honest lyrics, an electric show and a hard-working DIY attitude, the band has already recieved attention from labels and sponsors, as well as a slot on the 2005 Vans Warped Tour and countless nearly sold-out shows including shows alongside local favorites and friends, Between Home And Serenity and Cherry Monroe, as well as a hefty list of national acts.
At the brink of what could have been a break out success, with a long awaited EP in the mix and mastering process and a following growing by the hundreds, the diversity of musical tastes that made THR so magical ultimately ate them apart from the inside. Following the October 30th Halloween show at the Odeon - a show with a record attendance for the group - Bobby decided to call it quits to pursue a project tapping into his poppier roots. Dan who had been friends with him for years, followed. Leaving Frank who sits somewhere in the middle.
Vocalist Justin Vaughn concentrated on pushing boundaries and tapping into a much darker, more eccentric vain with a new project, while Bobby and Dan wen't for a more stripped down indie pop outfit.
A reunion and official album release may linger in the near future....
