The Golden Halfway Record

Halfway are a critically acclaimed eight piece rock band from Brisbane, formed in 2000. For a band that redefined a quintessentially Australian sound on their 2014 classic 'Any Old Love', Queensland's Halfway travelled halfway around the world to record their follow up 'The Golden Halfway Record' in Nashville, Tennessee. Working with lauded producer Mark Nevers (Calexico, Bonnie Prince Billy, George Jones) and releasing for the first time through ABC Music, the band left to find a global sound and returned with an ode to adolescence in Halfway's core duo John Busby and Chris Dale's hometown of Rockhampton. The album's first cut 'Bret Canham's Leather Jacket' tells the story of a kid they knew who, with his penchant for 'weird' clothes, hairstyles and music, stood out and suffered for it. The followup, 'The Golden Halfway Record' has reclaimed the band's love of rock while retaining the country feel of a group of troubadours ready to not just tell their story, but continue to tell the story of Australia.
