Halflives

Although Halflives was originally an alt-rock band, it is now a solo band led by musician Linda Battilani. Halflives exists to build community, create an outlet for emotion, and is about, in Linda’s own words “making music for the misfits, the rejected and those who feel left out.” Best experienced live, Halflives’ music is a collection of singalong anthems, an invitation to the expression of personal chaos, a message of unity, a celebration of resilience.

Halfway between pop and the nostalgia of mid-2000s alt rock, her latest project Inferno is a 5-song rending of the emotional turmoil singer/songwriter Linda Battilani navigated over the past few years. “I celebrate ‘Inferno’ as personal growth both as an artist and for my mental health”, she says when talking about the creative process behind the record, which she experienced as a freeing, limitless, boundary-crushing reinvention of herself. ‘It's my way of saying ‘fuck it all’.”
