Great pop metal! Check out New Girl Now, Heart on Fire, Burning in Love. Johnny Dee has a great voice, and he and Derry write great, catchy songs. Recommended!


Great LP that started a string of even better LPs from a very talented Band. Get this.


the debut this is a good album great songs all over they went on to even greater albums this i give 9/10


One of the most impressive Canadian hard rock debuts EVER! Four killer tracks in “New Girl Now”, “Burning in Love”, “Wave Babies” and “Stay in the Light”. How many debut albums go that deep with hits? Not many. This is recommended for anyone who likes medium-heavy Loverboy-style AOR. The 3rd LP Racing After Midnight, was a little more Rock than the first 2. Far better guitar.


All of hms’ albums kick major ass Any hms fan would agree that their music totally rocks


One of the best Canadian bands ever!Also an outstanding debut!Sounds like the most true early 80s sounding efforts I’ve ever seen!Very difficult to compare them to anybody;they have a sounding which is very own! Dees’ voice sometimes remember me of Toto!They are kind of a Canadian version of Bon Jovi in terms of attitude!Best songs:Burning in Love and Wave Babies!No all the songs are great,which is impossible to see in a album these days!Its a 10 out of 10. Nice cover also!!!!!!!


Great debut from Honeymoon Suite. “Burning In Love” is still one of my favorite tracks, among others.


Without a doubt a brilliant debut. Excellent.


A great debut album, from one of Canada’s top bands of all time. I remember getting this one at the time and playing it non stop for weeks. Even today it stands up very well and is played on a regular basis. The Loverboy comparisons are pretty near on certain tracks, but i always found that they had a sound of their own, especially as Johnny Dee has such a recognizable vocal style.


This is my favourite release, this still has a special place for me. Got this when it came out the band had that kind of slightly off the wall sound that Canuck bands seem to have,which they had all but lost by BP. New Girl Now gets the album off to a great start but the best track for me is Wave Babies,it has a cool kinda hazy summery feel. Ends with a great ballad in Face to Face.


I think that Honeymoon Suite debut album is the best one they ever released! “New Girl Now” and “Burning In Love” still remain their greatest hits! As for the music, it is pure AOR. So, I recommend to start listening to Honeymoon Suite from the first album!


All you need to know is (I’ve Got A)”New Girl Now”. Excellent tune….crank it up & wish it was ’84 again.


quite impressive debut by Canadians honeymoon suite,extremely mature and high quality performed.very talented band with nice melodic ideas, not hard rock in its all though.i mean that their sound contains rock/pop elements too ,always in the 80 s style.”burning in love”, “now that you got me” and “funny business” are my favs. if you want to hear strong guitars this is not your chance.if you like 80 s rock and imagine rush play pop then you have an idea of honeymoon suite back in 1984. great release

Guitarist Derry Grehan and Lead Singer Johnnie Dee of Honeymoon Suite talk about “Burning In Love”!

1984’s self-titled debut “Honeymoon Suite“, IS A GREAT LP

Their combination of catchy rhythms and fluffy radio-friendly melodies did wonderfully well on the Canadian charts, with the first four tracks hitting the singles charts, while “New Girl Now” also made a dent onto the US Billboard Charts. A Loverboy meets Journey style with a touch of refined pop, rough around the edges and striated with keyboards, much of this album contains hardened guitar work painted with up-tempo choruses that hold their own. 

“New Girl Now” is a killer opener full of bluster and bite with the help of the guitar-driven melody, followed by the scorching “Burning In Love” and then the smooth caress of “Wave Babies”. 
The fourth minor hit for the band was “Stay In The Light”, a more poppy / light melodic rock tune than the others but excellent as well.

Johnny Dee & Co. go AOR for the Harlequin influenced, tight rockin’ “Now That You Got Me”, and then blow the leaves out of the yard with the fast-paced “Funny Business”. David Tyson and Eddie Schwartz provide the songwriting goodies with “Heart On Fire”, a track Schwartz released three years earlier on his solo album.
The band return to some punchy AOR with “Turn My Head” followed by the hi-tech wizardry of “It’s Your Heart”, a workout for Coburn and his battery of synths. One of my favorites.
Album closer “Face To Face” is a mid-tempo semi-ballad rich in melodies and keyboards combining breezy moments with a stabbing attack.
“Honeymoon Suite” is must have for any mid-Eighties AOR fan, and this is Highly Recommended.
