Introducing… Halos

• 23rd Jun 2010

Frontman Dan Lyman grew up in a home where the music he loved, he was not allowed to listen to. Sitting in his dark basement, late at night, he listened to the radio and recorded hours of broadcast to tape to dissect and examine the dynamics of the songs that moved him – hoping he would not be chastised or berated for his passion for music.

Halos officially embarked on its journey in 2006 when Dan landed in Orange County, CA, after his own nomadic touring where he spent months criss-crossing the U.S.A., calling his van his home, and living the life of a starving artist. He soon returned to the basement, this time with a trio of talented musicians that included bass player John Hoge and keyboardist Josh Huber. The result was a melodic and addictive blend of modern indie rock infusions dotted with elements of the band’s influences, including the late greats, coupled with the more vivid and lyrical sound of new rock, and sprinkled with an occasional twang of country.

In 2008, Halos brought in guitarist Zak Freedman and drummer Sotiris (Sam) Eliopoulos, and ever since, the five piece has been creating a plethora of original, infectious tunes with a hint of the stuff that will make you nostalgic for the songs you heard on the radio when you were a kid.
