Hallan are the Portsmouth post-punk four-piece pairing wiry guitars and '80s-tinged synths with razor-sharp social commentary, backed by BBC 6 Music and a ferocious live reputation.
Portsmouth four-piece Hallan have been turning the everyday absurdities of modern Britain into wiry, wonderfully sharp post-punk since settling on their line-up in 2018. Fronted by Conor Clements, with Josh Ransley on guitar, Josh Tweedale on bass and Adam Mills on drums, the band signed to tastemaker label Nice Swan Records (Sports Team, Courting, Sprints) in 2020. Their first single for the label, "Modern England", was named Record of the Week by Steve Lamacq and went on to be playlisted by BBC 6 Music, kicking off a run of standout releases including "Sich Übergeben" and "Money Talks".
Debut EP Reporting Live From The Living Room Floor (2021) set out their stall with biting lyrics and riffs to match, before The Noise of a Firing Gun (2023) took a bold new turn, drawing on stories from history and bringing in '80s-inspired synths on tracks like "The Colline Gate" without losing an ounce of bite. On stage, Hallan are a proper force. They've played their hometown's Victorious Festival, taken their sets across the UK and over to France, and packed out Portsmouth's Wedgewood Rooms, where the crowd chants their name between songs.
