02 About

Atmosphere.
Weight. Tension.

Everything a promoter, venue, festival booker, journalist, or collaborator needs in one place.

Half Awake Eyes are an alternative metal band from Glasgow, formed in late 2024. Blending crushing riffs with intricate rhythm work and dynamic, emotive vocals, the band create music that balances atmosphere and intensity, prioritising feel, space, and storytelling over constant heaviness.

Since forming, the band have built strong early momentum through a DIY approach and consistent live activity. Their track "Dispossession" received airplay on BBC Introducing Scotland, marking an early milestone. Live highlights include supporting The Cost at G2 and appearances at Metal 2 the Masses. On 23 September 2026, the band supported Casey at Slay, Glasgow, for the 10th anniversary of Love Is Not Enough.

Half Awake Eyes released their debut EP on the 11th of February 2026.
