Sounds LikeWell, it's the infamous " what do you guys sound like?"question... we can tell you what WE think we sound like, but why not go straight to the source and ask our friends and fans to lend some objectivity to this part, so read on!!!

"...This would be easier if HDT didn't sound exactly like HDT to me...more driven by creating a mood than dedicated to a particular "type" of music..."

"...HDT sounds like what rock should..."

"...Well i think you guys sound like Halfdown Thomas..."

We invite you to listen and see for youself.

   About HalfDown Thomas ( NEW ALBUM in stores NOW!!! )
HalfDown Thomas (or HDT) was begun on the verge of the new Millenium in the sleepy little backwoods town of Cullman, Alabama by a group of friends with one simple goal: To start a band and see how far it could really go. 8 years later, singer Randy Ayers, guitarist Wesley Smith, bassist George White and drummer Mark Underwood are finding out.

Starting as everyone does, in sweaty little clubs, opening shows for renowned local acts, HDT spent their time developing a high intensity stage show to compliment their hard driving Modern Rock sound. Eventually the hard work paid off opening the doors of opportunity, allowing HalfDown Thomas to share the stage with acts as diverse and influential as 3 Doors Down, Staind, Black Stone Cherry, Kings of Leon, Vallejo, OutKast, Evanessence, and Fuel just to name a few.

At the same time, HDT was working hard to hone their personal sound. With 2 Full length releases, 3 E.P.'s and numerous compilation spots, writing and recording have been a large piece of the equation. Somewhere between Pearl Jam and Nickleback, between Stone Temple Pilots and Breaking Benjamin is where you'll find HalfDown Thomas' sound. Throw in individual influences as varied as Southern Rock and 80's hair metal, and what shakes out is Modern Rock Alternative with scorching guitar solos, bombastic rythm work and attention to lyrical hook that create an intersting and still "listener friendly" mix.

Recently, HalfDown Thomas inked a management deal with Rock Ridge Records, an independent, do it yourself minded label started by Tom Derr (ex-VP of Artist Development and Relations Universal Records) and Chris Henderson (Guitarist for 3 Doors Down). With the imminent release of their third full length recording, the tenatively titled "Beautifully Strange", and distribution through Warner/ADA, HalfDown Thomas is set to push the evolution of this project to the next level.

Just how far can four guys take a dream? The answer seems to be a lot farther than anyone expected.
