Halfway hails from Brisbane, Queensland, via the regional towns where kids grow up listening to country music on the family AM radio. Combine this foundation with the folk/bluegrass leanings of two Dublin born brothers, and you have Halfway.

The band has worked hard over the last couple of years crafting and recording music, and honing skills with performances throughout Australia. Halfway combine pop sensibilities with the twang and the heart that is modern country rock music, producing a collection of sounds that culminate in odes to friendship, lost love and damn fine song writing.

Its all there. Lush and restrained pedal steel and banjo beautifully complementing acoustic and electric guitars, which counter and punch within a mix of fine melodies and three-part harmonies. This is how country rock should sound.

Halfway has an impressive pedigree. Four members of the eight-piece band were long-standing members of Brisbane band St Jude, before the collective grew into today's Halfway family. Halfway was completed with the addition of Ben Johnson, and brothers Liam and Noel Fitzpatrick.

Over the past 12 months Halfway have supported bands such as Gersey, Knievel, Screemfeeder, The Anyones, You am I and J Mascis. The boys have been tinkering with the songs, and crafting their exciting and powerful debut long player, with help of producer Wayne Connolly (You Am I, Gersey, Dallas Crane).

And now for your enjoyment, Laughing Outlaw Records and Reverberation are proud to present Halfway’s Farewell to the Fainthearted.
