Irish Indie rockers The Halez release new single "Coming For You"

The band are hotly tipped as "one of the big new Irish acts" by The Irish Sun.

Their most rock-centric release to date, new single, "Coming For You" commands immediate attention with its thumping drums and irresistible singalong chant, reminiscent of alternative anthems like "Chelsea Dagger". The band set out to create something fun, memorable, and musically communal - designed to get the crowd involved no matter the venue.

On the song's standout vocal hook, lead vocalist Kieran Murphy shares:

"The hook just came to me and it refused to leave! I brought it to the boys the next day and it all came together in the first jam. They say the best tunes come easy and this felt like one of those for us.Before we landed in the studio with the maestro Billy Farrell, we actually started off recording the vocal hook and some basics in one of the lads’ sheds. It was the depths of winter—freezing cold—so the four of us huddled around a mic, chanting ‘Na Na Na Na’ and trying to stay warm. Whiskey may or may not have been involved....purely for survival, of course.

After a few takes and a few sips we started taking the piss and sang it in a ‘Darth Vader’ voice, thinking, ‘No one will ever hear this.’ But somehow, that take made it into the final mix! If you crank up your headphones, you can actually hear it. That sums up the song for us—high energy, a bit of madness, and a lot of fun".

The new single teases that the band also aren't afraid to bring a bit of mystery into their evolving sound, which takes inspiration from The Stone Roses, The Beatles, Oasis and the iconic bands of the Britpop era:

"There’s a bit of mystery around the lyrics that makes this song different from our previous releases—it’s got that femme fatale vibe. Who is this admirer? Is she a real obsession, or could she be a Catfish? It leaves you wondering—are you gonna run and hide, or give in to her charms?"

On what's in store for the remainder of the year, Murphy continues, "We've got some cool stuff in the pipeline for 2025 and this is the track to kick it off, we can't wait to get it out there. It's rockier than our previous singles, bags of energy with a cool sing along hook".

On a mission to bring guitar rock to new heights in the Irish scene , The Halez are leading the charge - and this is just the beginning.
