Influences
mozart's the magic flute, t.s. eliot, soft things, pro evo, feedback, white-boy dancing, things we see with our eyes, £1 pizzas, old man jumpers, dirty fat synth, broken guitars, dave roper, getting lucky at the meat counter, buzzin our tits off, yun hider, tuc buiscuits, yards of ale, clean things, classic rhythm 20's (broken zip model), bees- they're mad..., football factory, flicky!
Halfway Hero first stumbled together to play music in a tiny sweaty cupboard in march 2007. Since then they've written many a song, played many a show and broken many an instrument. A chubby northerner raised on a diet of poetry and punk, a skinny indie kid raised on a diet of guitar pedals and chicken, a jazz drummer raised on a diet of shostakovich and football factory and a funk bass player raised on a diet of funk and hair; Halfway Hero continue to write and play the music they love. If you like your guitars loud, your ribs bruised and your sentiments poetic you could be in luck.

I'll be there! I was planning on coming along anyway as I know Rob. I'm sure you guys will be amazing. Good luck and all, although I'm sure you won't need it. Also, if you need any photography done I'm taking an A-level in it at the moment, so I'd be more than happy to do it as a favour.
