The Halcyon Glow

About Me

The Halcyon Glow is a rock band based in London. Fusing the best bits of their manifold influences, the band produce a diverse number of sounds ranging from melodic acoustic pieces via post-rock crescendos to epic progressive suites.
After first dipping a toe into the sea of live performance in 2004 while at university, the band has been gigging regularly since the beginning of 2007, gaining a following and creating a focused, powerful sound.
This is a video of us playing "Mono" at The Green Poll 2009 final:
The Halcyon Glow are now looking for a label with which to help get their music to a wider audience. If you are interested in working with the Halcyon Glow, please drop us an email at [email protected] or get in touch via MySpace.
