They have a new one out but wanted to make sure you don`t overlook this obscure gem, aong lost Australian release from 2003 and we`ve found it for you - and it`s a gem Not Lamers! Feel free to stop right now and just listen below. The first song blends the vocal skills of Robin Zander and Danny Wilde(The Rembrands) into pop anthem that is really hard to not sing along to and it only gets better from there. This is what our passion about finding lost gems in the landscape of power pop/melodic rock is all about. Bring them to you when they, otherwise, would be lost. Anyway, Halfday sound like Midnight Oil playing Crowded House. The perfect combination of Down Under and Kiwi-Pop, I guess you could say. Songs. They have them, too! This is represented below, but I was errant not including a few but there is only so much time(these soundbites take TIME, folks....hope you appreciate it!). Well, let`s press on. Song #3 below is called "You Make Me Want To Clean My Room" that will find you playing again and ripping to yr Ipod as you will not want lose this one. (great title, too!) "Sweet, simple and instantly memorable" - [Kelsey Munro - Sydney Morning Herald],
"Halfday have produced one of the city`s finest indie-pop albums yet. Now We`re Happy is ripe with the spirit of rock classics."
[Joel Dullroy - The Brisbane Courier Mail], "Rarely has a Brisbane band been blessed with a singer and songwriter of this calibre - This is absurdly good pop music backed up with great performances"
[Brett Collingwood - Rave Magazine], "A real sense of yesteryear ... unabashed, sweet pop like this is something of a rarity"
[Nick Coppack - Time Off Magazine] Australia`s press got it, but record buyers, evidently, didn`t. All of us northward heard not a peep from pop fans Down Under, too, so we assume they missed it, as well. Well, injustice is redeemed right here on the net pages of The Not Lame site. DIG IN without reservation. Big Time Extremely Highly Recommended!
