Biography
Within a year’s time, Halifax found itself among the rookie bands on the 2004 Warped Tour. By early 2005, after bowling them over Drive-Thru founders Richard Reines and Stefanie Reines during a New Jersey gig with The Early November, the label tweaked and reissued Reference. Halifax continued touring and building its fanbase while concocting what would become The Inevitability of a Strange World, a collection of riff-heavy arena rock anthems that blend post-punk hardcore with hard rock influences, a la Mötley Crüe.
The band took a three year break which was everything but a holiday: it was “a trial in life that gave us one ultimatum: stand up and fight for what we believe in or break up. 90% of bands fail, we like to think we’re in the other 10%” explains Tommy. “Not to mention how much we have matured in the last 3 years as musicians and songwriters, let alone adults. We planted our feet firmly on the ground when we made this commitment to music and it’s going to take a lot more than faulty indie labels, lawsuits, and debt to sniper us out. We’re not a band that backs down when faced with barriers. We have more respect for our fans and ourselves than to let anything get in the way or stop us from being artists.”

According to their bio one of them must have been a copywriter.

If they could somehow get a support spot on a good tour, they could probably build up some new fans. They just need some good exposure for the new material.

New lead singer has fit in nicely also, i agree with bobo, new ep is great.

Halifax is in Pennsylvania, not sure if that what it is named after though. This band was one of the picks Real World Austin cast picked to do a profile on at South by Southwest also. Along with Hello Goodbye, eck.
