The Navettes – SLOW
Up until 2016, I held the steadfast opinion that guitar music was the only music worth considering in life. Since then though, the bands who have been pushing the boundaries of the music industry have been those that combine that quality guitar music, with synth-pop. Take Chvrches, Spector and more recently Thirty Seconds to Mars as examples, this is […]

Live: Walk The Moon – Stylus, Leeds
It’s fairly safe to say that Ohio band Walk The Moon have had their fame escalated since the release of 2014 hit Shut Up and Dance. With many people only knowing this song it must be daunting for the band every time they tour, that the crowd will be waiting in anticipation for that track, and that track […]

The last few weeks has seen Manchester four-piece Corella embark a tour across the UK, bringing happy vibes and indie riffs to the masses. Following the release of “Caught Up” earlier in the year, the tour ended in York at the Fulford Arms in what was an energetic performance and a perfect end to the tour. The […]
One of the most thoughtful and insightful artists to emerge through last year was London based Stereo Honey. In particular, two of their songs on their wonderful Monuments EP offered deep food for thought as The Bay offered a moving and floating memory of the 21 Morecambe Bay Chinese immigrant cockle pickles who died on […]
This April, festival season truly kicks off early with the brand new, North Yorkshire based event, Pop Punk Pile Up. Halfway 2 Nowhere have given you the perfect guide to the weekend, where it is, who to see and most importantly a bumper Spotify playlist with all our favourite artists playing over the weekend.

Last year Newton Faulkner completed one of his biggest UK tours to date. Local York artist Nathan O’Grady went to see the show on behalf of Halfway 2 Nowhere and as you can tell, thoroughly enjoyed it. Here’s a short take on the show from one artist, reviewing another! “Newton’s set was one that had […]
