Things people have said about Hailer
"As long as there are bands like the Lazys, The Unheard, Jet, The Harry Sons, The Styles, The Pink Fits, HAILER and The Dragstrippers coming through, the War will never be lost."
Johnny Kannis - frontman of seminal Sydney band The Hitmen (Radio Birdman / The Saints) , published in i94.
"Where many bands of late over-indulge in the power of their electric instruments, from key-tars to gee-tars, Hailer shows restraint and maturity in their choices and this has paid off in a big way with their epic EP "Like A Uniform". Their blues infused rock certainly smacks of prominent influences past and present (I’ll leave them for you to pick) but nonetheless delivers something extremely unique and totally refreshing. Hailer is the kind of band that REALLY grows on you" - www.sosueme.com.au
"Quite amusingly, Hailer will sound at its best on the "softer" songs such as Anybody’s Girl with its hypnotic static rhythm. And what about the amazing Midnight Hour where the guitars skillfully play with a conventional chord structure (not to mention the tremendous break) at a time when we can only lament on the very disappointing Sons And Daughters album ... this ep showcases some great abilities of the trio, who we shall check again with real joy. The sooner will actually be the better". - Millefeuille Webzine (its French)
"They rule" - anon.

"Imagine the soundtrack of a band brawl between Kings Of Leon, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Queens of the Stone Age..."
Based in Sydney, Hailer play slick rock n roll with an emphasis on the basics – melody, riffs and groove. After meeting over beer in 2004, Hailer quickly settled on a 3-piece line up and began to make their mark in venues around Sydney. Three years down the track, Hailer are turning innocent bystanders into die-hard fans through vibe-packed, trailblazing live performances and online charm. Feet writhe, heads nod and the melodies stick in your head like superglue. Enjoy the rock and feel the roll, its that simple.
After a short trip to the UK in October 2007, the band will finally release their phenomenal EP, "Like a Uniform", in the first half of 2008. Expect to see them at a venue near you in 2008.
