Though there were many rumours that the band had split up, Victory Records hardcore act With Honor will be continuing on, albeit in a different form.
The band announced the departure of vocalist Todd Mackey this week, but have already secured a replacement in Scream Out vocalist Kevin "Whitey" White. With White on board, the band has also confirmed that they will maintain all their current touring obligations, including the upcoming tour with Strike Anywhere and A Global Threat which will go on as scheduled. The band released their Victory debut, This Is Our Revenge last year. Victory Records (184 comments)

So is it safe to say With Honor has "White Pride"? Aye oh! Seriously though, I'm glad they didn't break up. Victory needs all the good bands they can get. -Dante P.S. Don't scream "Kill Whitey" at their shows now...It's not ironic it's mean? 2+ Replies

WHY? O WHY? that's a shame! I really think you shoudln't keep the same name after replacing the singer...

Did this Todd fellow write the songs? If so, they should definately break-up (see also: Catch 22) But if not, replace the singer and keep going. (see also: Shai Hulud) 7+ Replies

Well, the guy changed his voice so much i suppose they could just get a new singer in. Not that hard a voice to replicate either way. Bland. 3+ Replies

Every time I see a news post about this band all I remember is Chicken: Yeah we’re hoping. I think we’re a little different type though. A lot of the hardcore out right now is like the tough guy face tattoo, kind of like songs about your honor and oath. Jason: And picking yourself up when you fall down. Everybody’s falling down. Chicken: Yeah, all these hardcore kids are falling down and they all sing songs about how they pick themselves up. Jason: And people are holding them down too. Chicken: They’re holding each other down, and picking each other up and they won’t sacrifice and they all have an honor and a code. Jason: A lot of honor. This is like Braveheart rock. 5+ Replies

i thought todd was a pretty decent singer. he could sing and scream and blend the two, kind of like thomas from strike anywhere. but i have to admit i think i liked the band more when he screamed more than he sang. i wonder which way they will go with the new singer. i've never heard of scream out, are they good? 3+ Replies

With all the Victory shit-talking that usually goes on in here, I'm surprised people actually give a fuck about this band. Are they the exception to the rule? I've never heard em. 5+ Replies

i don't now how i fell about this. i'm gonna give them a chance live hopefully and check out any new stuff they put out, but Todd was one of the best parts of the band. oh well, maybe this guy will somehow be better, though i think a name change wouldn't be a terrible idea. Strike Anywhere/AGT and them will still be sick.

Posted on a board this past week: sent to an exec who sent it to some kid.
from todd:
Yo,
Thank you for opening this, I know all of you guys are more than busy, and I will not keep you long here. As some of you already know I have decided to leave with honor. I have a million reasons that are unnecessary to get into and would be self-defeating to bring to any light anyway, so I won't. I don't have anything to hide, I just wanted to thank you for everything you did with the band while I was with. Thank you for being great, real people. Thank you for taking risks on us and giving us a chance to make a little something more of our music. I saw things and did more than I would ever have thought possible when this began.
So in whatever comes next, I wish you guys all the best and success. I am hoping beyong hope that we get some moments as special as these hav show rest of comment 1+ Reply

last time I saw tham that whitey guy sang like two songs from what i heard it didnt seem too much diffrent. it was fun with todd though he would always go pretty crazy and from my experiences he was a nice dude but I dont think anymore leaving is a reason to not support a band granted they will sound diffrent but there all nice guys and the music is still pretty good I think they all definately deserve a chance 1+ Reply

Mosh dood! Look at the beatdowns brah. http://www.advancepromo.co.uk/gigphotos/06-02-01-mostpre ciousblood/05-Most%20Precious%20Blood%20(52).html people getting kicked in the bollocks IS funny!
Someone (February 3, 2006)
I'm pretty sure that there was more to the band's music than just the vocals, so acting like Todd was the whole band is quite stupid. It sucks a lot that he's gone. He was an awesome dude, but the dude chose to leave the bands of his own free will, so people shouldn't be bitching about them kicking him out. The song I saw them do with the new guy in Long Island last month seemed pretty good, so I have hope that things will still continue to be enjoyable. 5+ Replies
