The blood flowing through those jacks and data chips seems pumped from the Indie and Electro-roots of their teens, with live energy to match. And if references are not music to your ears - once you get hooked on one of their pop-driven melodies, you'll be all fired up... with no questions asked.

Hal Flavin was founded in 2007 by 2 indie-punk musicians busy with electronic installation art and stage scores, soon to be completed by two pure-blood groove lovers on bass and drums. Since the release of their EP, 'The Talk`(2011) they write and produce as a four-piece and have shared the stage with Metronomy, Delphic, Kraftwerk and Does It Offend You Yeah, to name but a few. The band is currently planning a series of releases for 2013.

Sounds like: Interpol & Kraftwerk meet Bat for Lashes on Mutemath's favourite UFO landing spot in Sherwood Forest.

Press commentary: “Streets ahead were Hal Flavin, a stylish three-piece from Esch-sur-Alzette that refracted early Midge Ure-era Ultravox through an almost hardcore punk edge. Although it sounds unpromising, their set-closing overhaul of Eurythmics's Here Comes the Rain Again' was terrifically compelling.” (Kieron Tyler, UK journalist)
