Despite their saccharine name, roots-rock duo Honeyhoney has never been short on attitude. There are moments on their two albums, 2008’s “First Rodeo” and 2012’s “Billy Jack,” where you sense that singer-fiddler-banjoist Suzanne Santo would just as soon whup you as serenade you; afterward, of course, her foil Ben Jaffe would buy you a drink, tug on his suspenders and say something like, “She gets like that sometimes.” But we digress. The L.A.-originated duo is in the studio with month with producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) to start recording their third album of dirty Americana, due next year. Via their website, they have teased with the R-rated rave-up “Punk Kid,” which features Santo in full frontal rebuke. She’s mighty good at it too. The song is  available from Honeyhoney’s website on a name-your-price basis, with the proceeds going toward a new tour van.
