Alternative Rock Band Halflives Perform “Snake” Live At The Dome (Downstairs) In North London, England - 2nd March 2024

—-

Half way between pop and the nostalgia of mid-2000s alt rock, "Inferno" is a 5-song rending of the emotional turmoil singer/songwriter Linda Battilani navigated over the past few years. "I celebrate 'Inferno' as personal growth both as an artist and for my mental health", she says when talking about the creative process behind the record, which she experienced as a freeing, limitless, boundary-crushing reinvention of herself. "It's my way of saying 'fuck it all'."

Halflives exists to build community, create an outlet for emotion, and is about, in Linda’s own words "making music for the misfits, the rejected and those who feel left out".

Best experienced live, Halflives’ music is a collection of singalong anthems, an invitation to the expression of personal chaos, a message of unity, a celebration of resilience.

Halflives is embarking on the "Inferno" tour in February and March 2024, a first 13-date headliner run across Europe and the UK.

Italian five-piece Halflives straddle the line between pop and alternative, combining crashing guitars with electronic flourishes, fronted by Linda Battliani. They take influences from the likes of You Me At Six and Bring Me The Horizon. The band crowdfunded their debut album after only six months together, reaching 200% of their original goal!

Halflives is an alternative rock band originally from Modena, Italy but now based in Paris, France. After releasing their debut 8-track record "Empty Rooms" in 2017, they toured Europe and the UK supporting Courage My Love. In 2018 they headlined several tours in mainland Europe and the UK and released two standalone singles "Crown" and "Fugitive". Early in 2019 they toured in the UK supporting The Faim and Chapel and appeared at Rock for People. In 2020 they released their EP "Resilience", including the single "Time Bomb" featuring Kellin Quinn from Sleeping with Sirens. They toured Europe early 2020 with Icon for Hire and released their single "Villain" in November of that year. Their next EP "V" came out on July 2, 2021, and includes the singles "Victim", "Vibe", "Valkyrie" and "Villain". In 2022 they toured Europe with Halocene.
