In the Empty City May 21, 2008

From Seattle, Washington, the band plays rock music and features Hans, Augie, Ryan and Wayne. You remember that band you were in in high school -- all sloppy naivete, uncool earnestness and bad mixing? Halophile is that band refined into its purest form, that is to say the leaden weight of inexperience, pretension and ambition transmuted into golden rush of near-perfect indie songwriting.
