Honey Shop Screamers were a ska band from Cheshire, England, who existed from 1998 until 2001. Although the Honey Shop Screamers themselves never achieved major commercial success, they have a strong legacy as the members went on to form a number of other bands.

In 2001, the band changed their name to the Victor FME, and changed their musical style considerably.

History

The band formed as a three piece in Frodsham in 1998. They played many gigs, mainly around Cheshire and Liverpool and were closely associated with another local ska band, Zen Baseball Bat. John Wallace later went on to join Zen Baseball Bat as their drummer.

The Honey Shop Screamers recorded one mini-album, entitled "Going Out Dancing" (Do The Dog records) which was actually released in 2002, after the band had split up.

Victor FME released an E.P. entitled 'Victor FME burst through fire doors at the controls of a giant cleaning machine' on Keith Records.
