Meeting for the first time in a bar in Athlone, The Halez came together over pints and easy conversation. It didn’t take long for them to find common ground—and a shared mission - To bring back proper, honest music.
That night sparked more than just a band. It marked the beginning of something rooted in raw passion, genuine connection, and a deep love for music that truly matters.
In a world flooded with fast food-style, throwaway tunes, The Halez are carving out a different path—one built on substance, staying power, and genuine heart. Their latest single is proof of that: a feel-good, classic indie-toned track that hits all the right notes.
The band's early demos eventually caught the attention of Grammy-nominated producer Billy Farrell, known for his work with The Corrs, Eddi Reader, and Brian Kennedy. Quickly becoming a key part of their journey—often referred to as their “fifth Beatle”—Farrell was impressed. As he put it, These songs have more hooks than a Russian trawler.
The main aim is to bring guitar music back. The world is crying out for it now and who knows, maybe we will be the ones to bring it back or at the very least, inspire the next generation to pick up instruments and to form bands and create some good old Rock 'n' Roll. When it comes to the creative process in music, two heads, three, four or whatever number of heads is better than one. The more people, the bigger the connection, the bigger the magic. We want to see more drum kits and guitar amps and less gimmicks. Go to wherever you get your music and give us a listen.- The Halez
The single, Let Live, is available through all streaming platforms.
