“Best Queensland band of all time” – ABC Radio Brisbane.
With a long history in the local and national music scene, fans can look forward to an album packed with tracks that are broadly universal yet remain devastatingly personal; the album is a story of big dreams, conflict, addiction and disappointment with the narrative using central characters which are real people from Rockhampton in the 60’s, 70s, 80s.
Rain Lover was co-produced by Nashville art rock recording legend Mark Nevers.
Press
“There’s a specificity about streets, locations and major life events and it all rings true, the music carrying equal emotional weight with the lyrics.“
The Music 4.5 STARS
“Has Halfway ever released a bad album? I’ll save you the research: no, they haven’t… Rain Lover might even be the band’s best yet”
Rhythms Feature
“Halfway are a modern treasure on the Australian musical landscape, always cutting to the heart and soul of their music with each record they produce. On Rain Lover they’ve topped even their own lofty standards.”
