Five piece rock outfit hailing from Richmond, VA and founded by songwriter and frontman Sam Valentine, guitarist Matt Elgin, and bassist Alex Roberson in 2017. HD's debut full-length album "Can't Be Trusted" released April 28th, 2023 and also features Jacob Hill on drums and Justin Ott on keys who along with the founding members have comprised Honest Debts’ hard-hitting lineup since 2019. “Across nine polished tracks, Can’t Be Trusted shows a newfound confidence and clarity from the band, with each track building upon the last to build a dynamic musical experience. The band’s signature skill is on full display, but there is also a sense of ease and fluidity that shows they’ve finally learned to take control of the varying influences that have guided them in the past. Alt-rock, Americana, blues rock, funk, soul; all these sounds pop up across the album with each connected by the band’s refined arrangements, clever melodies, and introspective lyrics.” - Doug Nunnally, The Auricular
