The thrilling quartet have built on acclaimed debut EP ‘Reporting Live From The Living Room Floor’, with their newest work seeing the band experiment with production elements and shift their gaze towards synthesised sounds of the ‘80s, whilst retaining their post-punk edge. Leaving the mundanity of the 21st century behind and turning to real-life events of the past, Hallan bring attention to the stories of historical individuals within their new EP. “One of the more interesting and colourful purveyors of this modern age agit-pop” Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music) Having already attracted an array of acclaim throughout the press landscape (Loud & Quiet, The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, CRACK Magazine, Clash, Gigwise, The Forty-Five, Rough Trade), band have received significant support from BBC Radio 6 Music with this latest release, including a Maida Vale Session and Roundtable Review for Steve Lamacq and culminating in 4 weeks on the radio station’s playlist (A-List).
