Alternative-industrial rockers Noir Addiction return with their new single “Money For The Honey”, a vibrant blend of driving guitars, rhythmic synths and infectious melodies. Combining alternative rock energy with darkwave and industrial influences, the track pairs an irresistible rhythmic pulse with lyrics that explore attraction, desire and the complicated motivations that draw people together.

Driven by a strong melodic pulse and an unforgettable refrain, “Money For The Honey” examines attraction, longing and the expectations people bring into relationships. Moving between playful provocation and genuine vulnerability, the song combines guitar-driven energy with electronic flourishes to create a sound that feels both contemporary and unmistakably Noir Addiction. Emerging with a raw, industrial-tinged soul, Noir Addiction is a powerhouse trio that harnesses a dark, heavy aesthetic against a backdrop of classic rock ’n’ roll grit. Founded by Sonny Lanegan, who handles vocals, guitars, synthesizers, and programming, the band is rounded out by drummer Roberto Catanzaro and Nessie Zorba on keyboards and percussion. A seasoned musician and producer, Lanegan’s creative vision was shaped in Los Angeles’ high-octane music scene, where he honed his experimental style as singer-songwriter for White Pulp and co-founder of The Dead Good. “‘Money For The Honey’ is about the things we chase when we know they probably won’t give us what we’re looking for,” says Sonny Lanegan. “There’s desire in it, there’s attraction, but there’s also that feeling of searching for something more. The song plays with those contradictions and leaves room for people to find their own meaning in it.” “The phrase ‘Love me for the money, taste me for the honey’ became a kind of centerpiece for the song. It’s playful on the surface, but it also hints at the different reasons people connect with each other and the expectations we bring into relationships.” Based in Italy, Noir Addiction continues to carve out a distinctive space in the alternative scene, blending dark rock, industrial textures and electronic elements with a strong melodic sensibility. Their sound thrives on contrasts—energetic yet atmospheric, modern yet rooted in classic alternative influences creating music that resonates with both rock and electronic audiences. Sonny Lanegan brings years of studio and production experience to the project, with a background that includes work in Los Angeles’ music scene and collaborations across multiple genres. His work has been featured in American television, contributing to the evolution of Noir Addiction’s polished yet emotionally resonant sound.
