Indie-rockers, The Halez unleash latest single

Music Review | 1st March, 2025 The Halez

Following their successful debut single, Charlie, released in 2024, Athlone band The Halez, continue to impress as they unleash their latest single, Coming For You, which shows the band aren't afraid to bring a bit of mystery into their evolving sound, which takes inspiration from The Stone Roses, The Beatles, Oasis and the iconic bands of the Britpop era.

With its thumping drums and irresistible singalong chant, reminiscent of alternative anthems like The Fratellis Chelsea Dagger, The Halez set out to create something fun, memorable, and musically communal - designed to get the crowd involved no matter the venue. Their most rock-centric release to date, the single commands immediate attention On the song's standout vocal hook, lead vocalist Kieran Murphy shares:

The hook just came to me and it refused to leave! I brought it to the boys the next day and it all came together in the first jam. They say the best tunes come easy and this felt like one of those for us.

Before we landed in the studio with the maestro Billy Farrell, we actually started off recording the vocal hook and some basics in one of the lads' sheds. It was the depths of winter—freezing cold—so the four of us huddled around a mic, chanting 'Na Na Na Na' and trying to stay warm. Whiskey may or may not have been involved....purely for survival, of course.

After a few takes and a few sips we started taking the piss and sang it in a 'Darth Vader' voice, thinking, 'No one will ever hear this.' But somehow, that take made it into the final mix! If you crank up your headphones, you can actually hear it. That sums up the song for us—high energy, a bit of madness, and a lot of fun.
