Haliday - 'Phase Me' Single Launch w/ Contract Love & February Clouds (Hay Fever Show)

Introducing Haliday - the punk-infused brainchild of Adelaide indie pop outfit Pinkish Blu’s Sebastian James. Today Haliday reveals his debut single ‘Phase Me’, a nostalgic and reflective offering that delves into the highs and lows of young adulthood.

Inspired by artists he had on rotation in high school, such as Balance And Composure, Basement, and Box Car Racer, alongside more recent influences like Slowly Slowly, ‘Phase Me’ is a sonic and lyrical time capsule.

“‘Phase Me’ is about a time when I had no clue what I was meant to be doing in my early twenties, while failing uni, not being able to find work, and having a terrible time with relationships,” says Haliday. “I knew that my mental health was a complete mess but I wasn't doing anything to fix it, and was just acting like everything was fine, which frustrated my friends at the time who were only trying to help.”

‘Phase Me’ was produced, mixed and mastered by Lachy Pitcher at Depict Studios in Adelaide.

Haliday’s live band comes together as an Adelaide supergroup of sorts, supported by TOWNS’ Aston Valladares on guitar, Don’t Bring Stacey’s Kyle Sambell on drums, and Rachie Whitford on bass. The project played their first show earlier this year, supporting Sydney pop punk band Yours Truly, and will launch ‘Phase Me’ with a headline show on Thursday 2nd September at Adelaide’s Fat Controller Steam Room.
