Halo Stereo
When mentioning the music of Halo Stereo three topics come to mind: Love, Machines and the end of civilization. The refreshing yet nostalgic sound and clever musical ideas of Halo Stereo are at first glance impressive, and as they unfold, addictive. These four youngsters out of Murfreesboro, Tennessee have tapped into a vein of Pop Rock music that is topped off with psychedelic lyrics and well-honed musicianship. They are a melodically oriented rock act with well-written songs, poetic lyrics and head turning musicianship.
The band was formed in February 2002 by front man Andrew Fry and bassist Jody Hicks. Andrew and Jody grew up near Huntsville, Alabama with drummer Will McCracken and played in a number of envelope pushing bands in the area. The three grew up together wreaking havoc on their local community at an early age. After High School was over and the world was at their disposal Andrew, Jody and Will moved to Nashville in hopes of starting a band that would stand for everything they believed in. The trio joined forces with a guitarist by the name of Robert Smith. Robert Smith (not of The Cure) adds a distinctive element to the ensemble with his Jazzy background in a rock setting. Growing up in Ohio, the heart of rock-n-roll, Smith found his calling at an early age and has established a strong style necessary to complete the Halo Stereo sound. Smith completed the foursome, continuing a 10 year friendship and musical endeavor that is stronger than ever.
Now, after two years developing their ideas and dedicating their lives to the music they create, they are making the scene. They have teamed up with veteran musician, producer and Grammy Winner, Bill Cuomo (Kim Carnes, Steve Perry, Whitesnake, Don Henley, Bad Company) to create incredible music that is on the cutting edge of the industry. Halo Stereo is slowly but surely breaking ground in the industry by taking audiences on a dynamic journey with their shows and wowing them with excellent songwriting and musicianship. Fans walk away from their shows excited and wanting more. Their hard alternative and melodic style is a tough one to ignore and is carrying Halo Stereo into the future as they tear their way through the ranks and leave audiences in awe and wanting more wherever they go.
