It’s been nearly impossible to ignore Montreal-based band Half Moon Run, who are creating nothing short of an international sensation with their debut release DARK EYES.
alongside Mumford & Sons, Phoenix and The Temper Trap
Eight months after the canadian release of their debut album "DARK EYES", Half Moon Run has signed on with Glassnote Entertainment Group, joining Mumford & Sons, Phoenix and the Temper Trap for the global release of "DARK EYES" in 2013.
Seven months after the release of their first album, DARK EYES, the Montreal phenomenon Half Moon Run continues to grow. Initially spotted by Metric when the two groups shared the stage at the Festival d'été de Québec last July, Half Moon Run signed a contract with the Paradigm Agency (Coldplay, Jason Mraz, MGMT) and joined Metric on their massive U.S. tour. For a month and a half, the trio played in crowded rooms - for 2000 to 5000 people - in addition to sharing the stage with the impeccable Lou Reed (Velvet Underground), at Radio City Music Hall in New York. They were subsequently invited by Patrick Watson as the opening act for his tour in the United States and Europe. The group also performed at festivals in France and Iceland and will be heading off to tour Australian festivals in December 2012.

I'm going to be cheeky here and pick one band and one solo artist. The band is Montreal's Half Moon Run - potentially one of the most important bands debuting an album this year. It's progressive without being pretentious.
