The last eight months have been a wild ride for Italy's newest musical export Halflives. The launch of their debut single Mayday opened the ears of fans across Europe to a band with a fresh, appealling pop rock sound, leading them to quickly build a fanbase across Europe and beyond.

Those same fans supported Halflives in their droves, helping to fund the band's then untitled debut album with a massively successful crowdfunding campaign run over just a month. Fast forward another two months to mid April, and Halflives are delighted to say that their debut album Empty Rooms is now available everywhere!

With strong radio and TV airplay for the albums' second single Burn, and yet more radio support for the current single Echo, Empty Rooms is set to ensure music lovers in the UK and beyond will be hearing a lot more from Halflives throughout 2017.

Check out Halflives' video for their current single Echo!
