Portsmouth quartet Hallan release brand new EP ‘The Noise Of A Firing Gun’, out today (June 9th) via Nice Swan Records (English Teacher, Sports Team, Courting).
Spearheaded by lead singles ‘Unwomanly Face Of War’ and BBC 6 Music-playlisted ‘The Colline Gate’, the group’s record sees them leave the mundanity of the 21st century behind and turn to real-life events of the past. Bringing attention to the stories of historical individuals, from the vestals of Ancient Rome to the art scenes of Berlin, ‘The Noise of a Firing Gun’ debuts a new direction in songwriting and composition for the band. Experimenting with new production elements, Hallan shift their gaze towards synthesised sounds of the ‘80s whilst retaining their post-punk edge.
Having already attracted a glittering of acclaim throughout the press community (Loud & Quiet, The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, CRACK Magazine, Clash, Gigwise, The Forty-Five, Rough Trade), in addition to supports with Sports Team, Porridge Radio and Pom Poko, and considerable BBC 6 Music playlist (Steve Lamacq) exposure, Hallan are readying themselves to hit the live circuit this summer to celebrate their EP’s arrival.
Hallan’s ‘The Noise Of A Firing Gun’ (EP) is out now via Nice Swan Records and available on all digital platforms.
