Portsmouth risers Hallan share silky new effort ‘Borgo Pass’, out today (September 30th - BBC 6 Music Steve Lamacq premiere last night).
Fusing post-punk urgency with synth-driven flair and biting social commentary, the quartet’s latest offering marks the follow-up to spring release ‘Lilian’s Regret’ and a mammoth UK and European tour, with further live plans afoot later this year alongside their forthcoming third EP slated for early 2026.
Since their formation, Hallan have grown from gritty South Coast beginnings to BBC 6 Music favourites (including a Maida Vale session and an extended run on the station’s A-list playlist), whilst across the press community they’ve landed widespread plaudits from key media titles including Loud & Quiet, The Line Of Best Fit, DIY, Dork, CRACK Magazine, Clash, The Forty-Five and Rough Trade, in addition to ticking off supports with the likes of Sports Team, Porridge Radio and Pom Poko as their profile continues to soar.
Detailing their latest release, the band stated: “Our new single takes inspiration from Stoker’s Dracula, but instead of a Halloween caricature; we paint him as a flawed romantic - longing for love yet cursed to eternal loneliness. Blending vampiric imagery with poppier, more accessible sounds, the track explores universal themes of longing, isolation, and finding meaning in a finite life. It’s both a nod to literary tradition and a call to appreciate the fleeting beauty of being human.”
Hallan’s ‘Borgo Pass’ is out now and available on all digital platforms.
Hallan is Conor Clements (vocals), Joshua Tweedale (bass), Joshua Ransley (guitar), Adam Mills (drums)
