Outside of being a band that nicely blend courageous rock with wonderful pop craftiness, halfsour are a band that make their songs well partly due to Ian Gustafson, Matthew Mara and Zoë Wyner trading vocal duties from song to song. One way to describe what they do is power pop but when you hear something… Continue reading Halfsour at This Is Book’s Music

Halfsour at Raised by Gypsies
If you’re Halfsour, what does that make the other half of you– sweet? Or is this one of those glass half empty/glass half full type of deals? While I have no answers to these questions I will say that if you should happen to name your band Halfsweet I think you should totally go… Continue reading Halfsour at Raised by Gypsies
Halfsour at Magnet
Halfsour has just released new record Tuesday Night Live, and you need to hear it. Listen to the Beat Happening-esque “I.K.” below, a shambling, loud garage track that should be perfect for a weekend drive. Be sure to check out Tuesday Night Live as well, out now on Jigsaw Records. [Link]
Halfsour at Innocent Words
Although their band name is abysmal, not to mention perplexing, Halfsour’s music is charming, straightforward indie pop. There isn’t a lot on the internet about Halfsour – good luck finding a website. However, they do have a sparse Bandcamp page, and their Facebook page is just as pathetic. No member information, no bio, hell, even… Continue reading Halfsour at Innocent Words

Halfsour at Whisperin and Hollerin
Half Sour are a faux-naive indie-pop outfit, straight outta Boston and from the sound of it. They are more North end rather than Southies it seems. When the opening blast of What Your Waiting jumps out of the speakers at you, it suggests this album is full of rather urgent sounding songs. Grump, the second… Continue reading Halfsour at Whisperin and Hollerin
Halfsour at Three Imaginary Girls
The folks at Seattle record label (and record store) Jigsaw Records bring us Tuesday Night Live – the debut album by Halfsour. The Boston trio’s brand of indie-pop comes from the other side of the tracks, where “cute and precious” is overpowered by fast-paced, retro jangle and fearless, yet catchy, melodies. I immediately fell for… Continue reading Halfsour at Three Imaginary Girls
Halfsour at Clicky Clicky Music Blog
We suppose there might be some quibbling, especially as how one defines “big” or “Boston” has some bearing on the matter, but it seems indisputable anyway that the first big Boston album of 2016 comes courtesy of Halfsour. The trio’s terrific debut long-player Tuesday Night Live, which streets next week, boasts scads of brisk tunes… Continue reading Halfsour at Clicky Clicky Music Blog

Halfsour at Collapse Board
Say you’ve gone out to see a gig in a new town. You’ve arrived early, as is your custom, but already people are crowding the couches and milling in bunches. You don’t know any of these people. Your legs lock as you stand at the threshold, scanning for somewhere unobtrusive to sit. Twenty minutes crawl… Continue reading Halfsour at Collapse Board
