HoneyHoney (stylized as honeyhoney) is an American alternative folk group based in Los Angeles, California, United States.
The band was formed in 2006 by musician Benjamin Jaffe and musician/model/actress Suzanne Santo. The two met at a costume party and signed a record deal a year later.[1] Originally the band's name was Zanzibar Lewis but it was rejected by their record label.[citation needed]
Their debut album, First Rodeo, was released on November 4, 2008 under the now-defunct Ironworks record label, run by actor Kiefer Sutherland and friend Jude Cole.[2] Sutherland starred in the group's music video for their song "Little Toy Gun".[3] honeyhoney toured with Lifehouse, another Ironworks band, at the start of their career.[4] The band released their second studio album, Billy Jack, on Oct 24, 2011 under their own honeyhoney Records/Lost Highway label.[2]
Their third album, "3" was produced by Dave Cobb and released June 9, 2015.[5] The website American Songwriter reviewed it writing, "with a singer-songwriter that exudes the magnetic passion and swaggering star power of Santo, this is a group whose time has come." [6]

Glide Magazine stated that "honeyhoney deftly mixes elements of folk, soul, country, pop, and rock."[7]
Outreach
In April 2014, the band traveled to Williamstown, Massachusetts, where Jaffe was raised, to perform a concert on behalf of local music programs. The band is planning a similar concert for schools in Santo's hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.[8]
