half•alive is an American band that has been captivating audiences with their infusion of indie pop, soul, and R&B elements since their establishment in 2016. The band was formed by lead vocalist Josh Taylor alongside drummer Brett Kramer and bassist J Tyler Johnson in Long Beach, California. They garnered significant attention with their 2017 EP '3', which featured the standout track "the fall." However, it was their 2019 hit single "still feel." that propelled them into the spotlight with its viral music video showcasing the band's dynamic performance and choreography, leading up to the release of their debut album, "Now, Not Yet."

As evident in their recent releases such as "Subliminal," "Beige," and "Give Me Your Shoulders, Pt. 1," half•alive continues to hone their distinctive sound that blends thought-provoking lyrics with multi-dimensional soundscapes. Their music often delves into themes of existential introspection, self-discovery, and emotional growth, encapsulating listeners with both lyrical depth and infectious melodies. The collaboration with British artist dodie on "Nobody" further emphasizes their versatility and the seamless melding of genres characteristic of their work. Their live performances, including "LIVE FROM CHICAGO," capture the energy and creativity that has become synonymous with half•alive, establishing them as a unique force within the contemporary music landscape.
