BIO:

"Imagine a bowl full of razor blades with sweet candy syrup on top." --Dan Kimpel

-AIRPLAY ON 112 COLLEGE RADIO STATIONS ACROSS US & CANADA
-1ST ALBUM "BIGGER THAN YOU" LANDS AT 12 ON CMJ'S TOP 200 MOST ADDED CHART
-TOURING REGULARLY THROUGHOUT WESTERN US STATES
-VERY STRONG INTERNET PRESENCE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SONG PLAYS & MYSPACE FANS
-OPENED FOR THIRD EYE BLIND
-SHOWCASED AT SXSW-ACCEPTED TO SHOWCASE AT ATLANTIS
-FOUR SONGS IN THE TOP TEN WORLDWIDE FOR HARD ROCK GENRE GARAGEBAND.COM

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!
