Honne's musical style has been described as "futuristic soul destined to re-invent babymaking music" by ''The Telegraph''. The band released their debut single "Warm on a Cold Night" in September 2014 via Super Recordings. They followed up with their second EP ''All in the Value'' in November 2014, and made their live debut at the Sebright Arms on the same day.
