I don't think it would be to harsh if I was to say that
Halifax aren't exactly everyone's favorite band, so when they
lost their lead singer you may have thought 'that sucks ...
ah well' and wouldn't have lost much sleep over it. Just like
you and I, they didn't let it bother them too much, they
quickly and quietly moved on. And so, up stepped Chris Brandt
to add "Vocals" to his guitar duties. Halifax would be back
making music before no time.

Their latest effort, a 6 track EP entitled Align has been
released on Rocket Science Ventures, that's right, no more
Drive Thru Records for Halifax. After listening to the the
ABSOLUTExclusive of 'Tonight' on their profile not too long
ago I was surprised at how much they still sounded (Vocally)
like the Halifax I remember! To be perfectly honest, if I
didn't already know they'd had a line up change, it probably
wouldn't have even crossed my mind that they had done a
switcheroo' on lead vocals! I'm sure that will seem like a
huge exaggeration to some however. (Though, after a few
listens to Align, then a short revisit to A Writers
Reference, I realize my above statement isn't quite as close
to the truth as I originally thought.)

On the opening track (No Saturation) Brandt sings in a way
that certainly makes me believe I'm listening to Halifax,
this is what I was hoping for, I tend to underestimate how
much I actually like this band. From start to finish
listening to Align I was a little overwhelmed by how suited
Brandt's voice is for this band. No different to what Hit the
Lights achieved when they were put in the similar situation,
with comparable outcomes. 'Tonight' is certainly the
strongest offering on Align, though Amsterdam also deserves a
mention for its more than memorable intro and a chorus that
will also leave its mark on you. The remaining tracks don't
scream out to be noticed, each one though, is not without
certain "Halifax traits"; crunching riffs, vocals efforts
that make you want to shout along to the lyrics, and as I've
mentioned, intro's that get your attention right from the

Sure, you're not going to be blown away by this effort,
Halifax are giving you what you may have come to expect from
them. If you used to enjoy listening to Halifax a few years
ago, you still will now.
