Halo - Nights And Days
“Nights And Days” is the debut EP from London hard rock, independent act, Halo. Fronted by Simon Talbot (also of Liberty’s Exiles), the album features six incredibly crafted songs, with infectious melodies, driving rhythms, and some truly gifted musicianship.
The disc kicks off with “Secrets”, with a chorus that is sure to get stuck in your head. A very hard rock tune, and a perfect way to kick off this EP. Some amazing guitar playing graces this track, and makes it an immediate stand out.
This album is made up of some really great moments, and each member of the band are excellent on their instrument of choice. A common theme on the album is that it seems every song has a very catchy chorus that’s sure to stick around in your head, long after the tunes end. And the way the band seem to effortlessly marry the acoustic and the electric guitar is further proof that these musicians know how to craft a really great song.
As they tear through melodic rockers like “Love On the Internet”, the more driving rock tunes like “Modern Day Regime”, and “Intrinsic Frustration”, and of course the more delicate songs “By My Side” (with some stunningly beautiful guest vocals from Zefora), and “Face the Pain”, it is clear that this band are a diverse outfit, much deserving of many listeners.
While the band have yet to release the follow up to the EP, the plan is in place for a full length in the very near future. And though the band has gone through line-up changes, as long as Simon is at the helm, I’m sure the full length will be a great album when it arrives.
