Halfway have been a band for quarter of a century, and across that time they've made nine studio albums, each of which has received a wealth of critical acclaim. From their origins in 2000, Halfway have developed their style and songs into cinematic soundscapes, lush with pedal steel, densely layered guitars, and driving rhythms. Halfway's new album, The Styx, features the return to the fold of band co-founder Chris Dale after a six-year absence, and contributions from guests including Chris Abrahams(The Necks, Midnight Oil) and Adele Pickvance (The Go-Betweens). The Styx has received wonderful reviews in keeping with all of the bands 9 albums https://www.halfway.com.au/halfway-bio/ “As in their songs, as in life. Love lost and found, the pain and the hope, the past and the landscape ever-present. Great songwriting often finds a way to make the deeply personal feel universal. Few bands navigate that path as surely as Halfway across these nine timeless albums.” NOEL MENGEL Matt Davis is a founding member of Gersey and Bombazine Black and French/Australian band The Wonder. https://www.thewonderhq.com/band Walkerville is a two-piece garage band from Melbourne, Australia.
