It has been quite some time since I posted about some amazing bands that more people should check out, so it's about time I did! Before I continue, I would like to thank all of you who have viewed our blog and also followed us on twitter! We really appreciate all the views and support we receive!
Moving on, the featured band in this post, as mentioned in the title, is Halfway Home! Upon the request of guitarist Tyler Grier via twitter, I checked out their EP and I believe that you are definitely missing out if you have not!
Halfway Home is a band from Chicago, and they make stunning music by blending the genres of hardcore and pop-punk. They released their EP, Something Better Or Nothing At All in November 2013.
The EP consists of 5 songs which will play their way to your heart! The EP opens with their first track, Stable Ground, bringing across the ideas of looking for stability, comfort and maybe even escape, which any listener can easily relate to. Similarly, if you really listen to the lyrics of every song in this entire EP, you will realise they sing about very real feelings and thoughts, making their songs easily relatable, and thus their music more lovable and addictive! (I personally love the very strong attitude brought across in the 4th track of the EP, Zipper.)
You can stream and download their full album at http://halfwayhomeofficial.bandcamp.com/track/miles-to-go ! Also, if you love them, follow them on Twitter (https://twitter.com/HalfwayHomeIL ) and like them on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/HalfwayHomeIL ) as well! I hope you enjoyed their music just as much as I did!
