Touring regularly through the northwest U.S. Half The World plays agressive, guitar
driven hard modern rock with amazing female vocals by beautiful, energetic front-woman
Mary Magill. Think Evanessence meets Breaking Benjamin, with enormous chorus
hooks and the guitar energy of Helmet! Urgent, powerful vocal melodies are punctuated
by masterful lyrics in this huge wall of sound which is Half The World's signature.
Their self-released first album “Bigger Than You” was well received at college radio stations
Across the US and Canada with a solid radio promotions campaign from Bryan Farrish Promotions.
At any given moment, half of the world's population dwells in darkness, while
the other half are bathed in light. Metaphorically speaking, the band Half
the World counts themselves among the latter. At the crux of their huge
sound, Half the World conjures a magnetic alchemy of vision and promise:
crushingly heavy and sublimely melodic.
It's also the framework to support eloquent, cerebral lyrics. "There's a real
strong sense of responsibility of writing music with this band, especially
from a lyrical standpoint," they confirm. "We shoot for substance. We're not
on some kind of crusade, but you won't hear 'Oh baby' or any love songs. We
don't need to add to that." Each musician in the band is also a songwriter.
"You may hear dark themes, but no promotion of darkness," they promise.
"What we're awake to, is a new vibe, a new revolution. "
Hailing from Holland, lead singer Mary Magill -- with her striking
visual presence and commanding, world-class voice -- is the band's on-stage
focal point. The rhythm section is comprised of Mat Hansen on bass and
Pete Weaver on drums and backup vocals (Pete also produces and engineers
for the band). Sean Thompson and Brett Pedersen's incandescent,
razor-edged guitars generate the fire that electrifies this monumental wall
of sound. Their music will appeal to fans of Breaking Benjamin, Evanessence,
Three Days Grace, Paramore, Chevelle, Seether, Sevendust, Foo Fighters etc.
Watch for HALF THE WORLD'S forthcoming 2nd album "THE DEATH DEFYING YEARS" releasing September 2, 2008, which is sure to please fans that are looking for a heavier vibe!
