Honor by August November 2, 2007

Honor By August is the band formerly known as Motive. When you listen to the Getaway car, you'll find the ire of Elvis Costello and the sugar-sweet retro melody of Cheap Trick, Squeeze, and the Fab Four worn proudly on their collective sleeve. With a range of influences from current stars like David Gray and the Counting Crows to classic rock personalities like Van Morrison and Paul Simon, the Reserves offer a captivating debut with 'Where Have All the Dreamers Gone.' This studio album, which was recently acclaimed by the Washington City Paper as "a sturdy collection of heartbreakingly gorgeous tunes," received two WAMMY nominations for the 21st Annual Washington Music Awards.
