HALFWAIT
Marking A New Era in Music
“Halfwait are a 3 piece Rock band From Sydney, Australia, the band's founding members, Jon Barca (guitar, vocals) Chris Tallon (drums) And Nick Sero (Bass Guitar). Halfwait's sound bonds grunge, punk, and alt rock elements into an appetizing concoction reminiscent of Offspring and Blink 182, with a dash of Nirvana tossed in for bite. 2016 saw the recording of the bands second EP recorded at Electric Sun Studios, featuring "Late Nights," which received heavy airplay on YouTube's Montage Rock channel.
Following the Release of the bands Debut Album release “The Official” in 2018 Halfwait embarked on a National tour playing shows around Australia promoting their latest release and were also receiving a lot of attention again on the YouTube Channel Montage Rock and on Spotify.
Jon Barca (Vocals and Guitar) also takes inspiration from a lot of rap and hip-hop. Chris Tallon (Drums and backing vocal) digs a lot of metalcore/hard-rock bands and Nick Sero (bass and backing vocal) is a straight old school rock n roller who is also frontman/guitarist for another Sydney band called Valen”.

Halfwait - My Past
We are thrilled to announce the newest single from Australian alt-rock trio, Halfwait. Since 2010 they have been fusing elements of alternative, grunge and punk, while melding in modern influences to hone in on their own interpretation of the angsty nostalgic sound. With an EP, debut album and national tour under their belts, the band is revving up to release even more music into the ether.
Presenting, “My Past,” an arena filling anthem with a melodic guitar riff that pays homage to pop-punk greats such as Green Day, Blink 182 and The Offspring. Vocalist Jon Barca’s performance is imbued with pleading as he reconciles with mistakes from his past that haunted his present.
ARTIST QUOTE
“The song was inspired by a past relationship of mine that was just getting started, but at the same time some troubles from my past were starting to catch up to me,” Jon explains. “When I was younger I made some bad decisions that I regret, and through dealing with court cases and all of the stress, I was struggling to process it all while trying to maintain some kind of normalcy in that relationship. Focusing on music with my best friend Chris, (drums/backing vocals) helped clear my mind, provided a positive outlet for me and kept me focused in maintaining a positive outlook on my life. My Past is the product of me moving forward from that point in my life, and never looking backwards.”
HEAVY MAGAZINE
Halfwait - My Past
Sydney-based rock outfit Halfwait have created an appetizing mix of nostalgia and ambition with their new track, My Past.
By fusing elements of pop-punk giants from the early naughts and adding their own twist, My Past adds a shade of nuance to their catalogue of singles. With guitar lines that are equal parts Blink 182 and Fontaines D.C., their sound offers originality and a nod to those who helped pioneer their genre.
