Honey Shop Screamers were a ska band from Cheshire, United Kingdom, who existed from 1998 until 2001. Although the Honey Shop Screamers themselves never achieved major commercial success, they have a strong legacy as the members went on to form a number of other bands.
In 2001, the band changed their name to the Victor FME, and changed their musical style considerably.
