Biography


The band began in 2003 with just Gorbel's vocals and Kamstra's multi-instrumental talents, where they played with an indie record label before being signed onto Doghouse Records. After releasing their debut album, Anything Else But The Truth in 2004, the band eventually signed on ex-member of The Format, Adam Boyd (formerly of Greeley Estates), along with Jonathan Wiley. After heavy touring, the Honorary Title released Scream and Light Up The Sky in 2007. In late 2007, Aaron Kamstra left the band because of the constant touring schedule. Jonathan Wiley also left the band to tour with Adam Green. In an interview with Absolutepunk.net on April 1, 2008, Gorbel said, "Aaron and I always had different ideas of where we were headed both musically, artistically, personally blah blah blah. We spent more time arguing than actually creating music. I wish him the best of luck. Jon is currently touring with Adam Green. There's no hard feelings, but we will miss him anyways; both amazing musicians."
Gorbel released a solo EP called Ten Years Older on his 2009 acoustic tour with Dustin Dobernig. In an interview with weworemasks.com, Gorbel says, "It’s considered a solo session, but…The Honorary Title might be over." He also said he is working on a solo LP. On October 24, 2009, Jarrod announced that The Honorary Title would play their final show on Friday, November 20, 2009.
On August 31, 2010, Gorbel released his first solo LP "Devil's Made a New Friend" under label Burning House Records.
Gorbel supported Hanson on the 3rd leg of their Shout It Out tour, starting November 1, 2010 in Dallas, TX and ending November 23 in Toronto, Ontario.
In 2012, Gorbel founded a new band, Night Terrors of 1927, along with friend Blake Sennett, former lead guitarist of the band Rilo Kiley. On May 5, 2017 having seen the release of two EPs and a full-length album, Night Terrors of 1927 announced their end. That same day Gorbel announced his involvement with a new band, Mourners, and a side project entitled Numblife.
On April 3, 2018, The Honorary Title announced on their Facebook page a reunion show to celebrate the 15th release anniversary of their first self-titled EP. The reunion show consisted of the band playing their first album, Anything Else But The Truth, in its entirety. The show was played June 1 at the Troubadour in Los Angeles with opening band Limbeck who frequently accompanied the band on their previous tours. Three more dates in August were eventually added for shows in Chicago, Brooklyn and San Francisco.
