With an album in the can, two successful EP's, and a string of tour dates, Halo have firmly stamped their mark on the music industry.

The Halo story began just over three years ago, when Graeme and Iain Moncrieff realised that their band, Chaser, had run its course, and had reached as far as it seemed destined to go. After Chaser split, Graeme and Iain set about finding new band members. At the same time drummer Jim Davey split from his band, and contacted the brothers' manager and managed to arrange an audition. With Jim Davey now added to the band, all that was needed was a bass player. Steve Yeomans turned up to the audition, empty handed on the back of a mates bike, never having played a bass guitar before in his life. He joined the band soon afterwards.

Two years on from the first rehearsal, Halo have finished recording their new album with acclaimed producer Al Clay. According to Jim, the band hooked up with Al whilst rehearsing in Bristol. Clay was working in the next room with another band, and heard Halo playing through the wall. Soon after he discovered that Halo were signed to S2 records and arranged a meeting with the band. Halo and Clay hit it off immediately, and the decision was made that Clay was the man to produce their album.

Back in 1999, at their first live gig at the Louisiana in Bristol, Halo surprised everybody, including themselves with their live intensity. Halo pride themselves on always giving 200% onstage, whether it is to an audience of 2, or 200.

After brushing aside early comparisons with Muse and Radiohead, Halo have instilled their unique sound into the hearts of many. Combining angelic vocals with often dark, intense lyrics, the music is emotive and refreshing.

With their album set for release in the summer, Halo will certainly be going places.
