simple. the names we had before no one could remember, and halfway seemed like somethin that everyone could remember and pronounce.

halfway has just begun to start playing live and are still building up our live show.

while the music industry has chosen internet downloading as their scapegoat for why records sales have been dropping just because they have been signing and pushing shitty artists...it has given a new voice to smaller and unsigned bands to reach a lot wider audience then they may have without.

yes. although there are many negative aspects, the one thing that major labels still have is promotion/advertising. that is still the top way to reach a mass audience.

danny and kyle have been writing and playing together in projects for about 6 years now...but this specific line up and group formed in june of 2003 although the name carried over from danny and kyle's previous group that never played out. it was geoff and john who completed the group and really made it what it has and is becoming. 4 friends who enjoy writing and playing together and if people can connect with it, bonus.

pearl jam, dredg, tool, jeff buckley, radiohead, moke, buchanan, pink floyd, smashing pumpkins, alice in chains, soundgarden, toad the wet sprocket, genesis, sevendust, miles davis, king's x, a perfect circle, csny, all sorts as you can tell.

currently, geoff is using a shure unidyne 55, a mesa triple rec, mesa cabs and a les paul. john is using ampeg heads, swr cabs and warwick basses, kyle is using gretsch drums and zildjian cymbals and danny is using warmoth, schecter and epiphone guitars, line 6 and mesa amps, and avatar cabs.
