Biography

The band began in 2003 with just Gorbel's vocals and Kamstra's multi-instrumental talents, where they played with a indie record label before being signed onto Doghouse Records. [http://www.thehonorarytitle.com/site.php?area=3 The Honorary Title ] ] After releasing their debut album, "Anything Else But The Truth" in 2004, the band eventually signed on ex-member of The Format, Adam Boyd, along with Jonathan Wiley.. After heavy touring, the Honorary Title released "Scream and Light Up The Sky" in 2007. Late last year Aaron Kamstra left the band because of constant touring schedule along with Jonathan Wiley who is now touring with Adam Green. In an interview with Absolutepunk.net on 4.01.08 Gorbel said, "Aaron and I always had different ideas of where we were headed both musically, artistically, personally blah blah blah. We spent more time arguing than actually creating music. I wish him the best of luck. Jon is now currently touring with Adam Green. There's no hard feelings, but we will miss him anyways; both amazing musicians." [ [http://doghouserecords.com/v2/info.php?bandname=The%20Honorary%20Title DOGHOUSE RECORDS - The Honorary Title ] ]
