The Halez | Indie-Rock Rebels Bringing Back Guitar Music

Music Review | 28th Aug, 2025 The Halez

The Halez is the result of a meeting of similar minds and personalities with a common goal, to bring back proper honest music. Formed in an Athlone bar over a few "pints", the band set out to create raw and honest rock with no fluff or gimmicks. Fast-forward a bit, and these indie-rockers have exploded onto Ireland’s music scene, quickly carving out a reputation as one of the country’s most exciting new rock acts.

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 wherever you get your music and give us a listen.

Their new single, Share Your World, makes a strong case that they might just pull off their musical-mission. It’s an upbeat, soft-rock anthem built on raspy vocals, sing-along backing lines, and layers of emotion that hit hard without feeling heavy.

The sentiment of 'Share Your World"' is about the importance of openness and connection. Encouraging people to seek support and not carry their burdens alone. We want to convey a message of self care through sharing and trusting others - Kieran Murphy (lead vocals)
