Halcyon

What the hell is a Halcyon? Halcyon is that feeling you get when you experience a memory that brings joy to your life. That is our goal with every performance: to make it so that when you leave and remember what you just experienced, all you can picture is the feeling of joy. We claim the genre of Indie Rock. Our influences span quite a plethora of bands but really hone in on sounds like The Backseat Lovers, Peach Pit, and Paramore.

We started primarily as a cover band. Playing benefit shows for the community and making an appearance at a bar every now and again. We always played around with the idea of writing our own music and making a name for ourselves but with school, and our day jobs, the dream never quite made it to the reality stage. That was until we were asked to play for a battle of the bands through Club 110 in Belleville, IL.

That gig kickstarted our band. We were forced to debut original work to qualify for the battle and it was really the first time anyone had heard our sound. The overwhelmingly positive response was all we needed. We decided then and there that this was now the reality stage.

We have our debut album "Stuck on the Daze" releasing here in a couple of weeks and we can't wait for you all to enjoy the project we have put so much time and effort into! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about us and we hope to catch you at one of our shows!
