Featherpocket isn’t here to play it safe. The Charlotte-based rock band has been bending genres and turning heads since 2017, blending rock, folk, country, and funk into something uniquely their own. Inspired by legends like The Velvet Underground and Gram Parsons while pulling from modern acts like Susto, they’re the kind of band that doesn’t fit neatly into a box, because they’d probably set that box on fire and dance in the ashes.
Their latest release, “Marijuana Honey,” is a smoky, intoxicating anthem about toxic love that’s sweet, messy, and impossible to escape. The track oozes with captivating guitar riffs and raw, unfiltered emotion, capturing the equally thrilling and self-destructive kind of relationship. If you’ve ever been caught in something you knew was bad for you but couldn’t resist anyway, this song is going to hit home.
Frontman Jason didn’t have to look far for inspiration; “Marijuana Honey” was born out of real life. One night, he locked eyes with a stranger across a club, felt that instant, electric connection, and the rest was history. What followed was a whirlwind month of passion, obsession, and chaos. And then? She vanished. No explanation. No closure. Just a space where something intoxicating once stood. Instead of sulking, Jason did what any great songwriter would do- he turned that experience into a song.
The result? A track that perfectly captures the push and pull of desire and destruction, wrapped up in the band’s signature blend of gritty rock energy and smooth, country-tinged storytelling. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to drive fast with the windows down, scream the lyrics at the top of your lungs, and maybe text someone you shouldn’t.
Since their formation, Featherpocket has been building a reputation for raucous, high-energy live shows that leave audiences buzzing. They’ve shared the stage with acts like Lillie Mae, Boy Named Banjo, and Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, proving they can hold their own among some of the best. Whether they’re packing out clubs or tearing up festival stages, their ability to blend raw emotion with infectious grooves makes them a band you can’t ignore.
With “Marijuana Honey,” Featherpocket is cementing itself as a force in the rock and alt-country scene. It’s a song that lingers, much like the kind of love it’s about. One listen, and you’ll be hooked.
